The 1-year follow-up results of the REMEDY stent do not meet current standards set by nitinol stents. Given the significant issues concerning bioresorbable stents in femoropopliteal arteries, their use outside clinical trials should be withheld until improvements are made and better data are available.

A nitinol memory frame containing mesh is a valuable tool to achieve complete deployment of a large pore mesh in a TIPP repair for inguinal hernias with acceptable morbidity and a low recurrence rate.
