RISMathematical Modeling of Patient Specific Ventricular Assist Device Implantation to Reduce Particulate Embolization Rate to Cerebral Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stroke is the most devastating complication after ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation, with an incidence of 14%–47% despite improvements in device design and anticoagulation. This complication continues to limit ...
Experimental Study of Anisotropic Stress/Strain Relationships of Aortic and Pulmonary Artery Homografts and Synthetic Vascular Grafts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homografts and synthetic grafts are used in surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). Determining these materials' mechanical properties will aid in understanding tissue behavior when subjected to abnormal CHD hemodynamics. ...
