In plain language
In a benchtop prototype study, a magnetic-coil fenestrated stent-graft allowed branch cannulation in about 6 seconds versus 34 with a standard guidewire. Radiation dose to patients or the fluoroscopy team was not measured, so any dose benefit is unproven.

What it found
Cannulation of fenestrations was faster with the electromagnetic (EMAG) prototype than with a standard guidewire in a benchtop comparison.
Key figures: 5.73 ± 2.67 s vs 34.37 ± 39.91 s, P < .01
Device feasibility was characterized by attraction force, dislodging force and temperature rise.
Radiation exposure during fenestrated repair is described as typically double that of conventional unfenestrated stent-graft placement, putting patients and clinicians at risk.
Key figures: double
Limits to keep in mind
Prototype benchtop feasibility study with no radiation dose measurements, no patients or staff, and an unreported number of trials; dose reduction is inferred from shorter cannulation time.
