Herein, a prototype hybrid stent of magnetic hydrogel was fabricated, characterized, and evaluated for magnetic hyperthermia treatment.  Thus, magnetic hybrid stents, which are based on the magnetic hydrogels, were developed in a simple way and were evaluated both in an agarose phantom model and in an ex vivo tissue sample at 30 mT and 765 kHz magnetic hyperthermia conditions to examine the heating efficiency.  In both cases, hyperthermia results indicate excellent heat generation from the hybrid stent and facile temperature control via tuning magnetic nanoparticle concentration (2-8 mg mL-1).  This study can be a promising method that promotes spatially thermal distribution in cancer treatment or restenosis treatment of hollow organs.
