RISEffect of Plaque Composition on Fibrous Cap Stress in Carotid Endarterectomy Specimens
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Researchers agree that studies of human plaque mechanical behavior should seek to describe local tissue stress and identify plaque features that underlie stability and instability 123. Moreover, ...
Relative Contribution of Wall Shear Stress and Injury in Experimental Intimal Thickening at PTFE End-to-Side Arterial Anastomoses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background : Intimal hyperplastic thickening (IHT) is a frequent cause of prosthetic bypass graft failure. Induction and progression of IHT is thought to involve a number of mechanisms related ...
Transitional Flow at the Venous Anastomosis of an Arteriovenous Graft: Potential Activation of the ERK1/2 Mechanotransduction Pathway
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present experimental and computational results that describe the level, distribution, and importance of velocity fluctuations within the venous anastomosis of an arteriovenous graft. The motivation ...
