The vascular external support, reported by Jae Won Yang, Hak‐Joon Sung, and co‐workers (article number 2007297), exhibits elastic self‐enclosable properties in the context of external wrapping around vascular grafts. It prevents stenosis of vein‐to‐artery grafting by minimizing hemodynamic changes, reinforcing artery‐like properties, and rescuing ischemic disorders. The support is suggested as a promising alternative to endovascular stenting and drug treatment.
