Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogel covered stents may reduce complications from thrombosis and restenosis by decreasing tissue prolapse. Finite element analysis was employed to evaluate the effects ...

Abstract: Covered stents could reduce restenosis rates by preventing cellular migration with a physical barrier and may have reduced thrombotic complications if an appropriate material is selected. Previous ...

Abstract: This work proposes a small, light, valveless pump design for a portable renal replacement system. By analyzing the working principle of the pump and exploring the design space using an analytical ...
