Effects of Stent Design Parameters on Normal Artery Wall Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A stent is a device designed to restore flow through constricted arteries. These tubular scaffold devices are delivered to the afflicted region and deployed using minimally invasive techniques. ...
A Device to Study the Effects of Stretch Gradients on Cell Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical forces are key regulators of cell function with varying loads capable of modulating behaviors such as alignment, migration, phenotype modulation, and others. Historically, cell-stretching ...
Development of a Non-Blood Contacting Cardiac Assist and Support Device: An In Vivo Proof of Concept Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of the maladaptive changes following a heart attack is an initial decline in pumping capacity, which leads to activation of compensatory mechanisms, and subsequently, a phenomenon known as ...
Assessment of Minimally Invasive Device That Provides Simultaneous Adjustable Cardiac Support and Active Synchronous Assist in an Acute Heart Failure Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of the major maladaptive changes after a major heart attack or cardiac event is an initial decline in pumping capacity of the heart leading to activation of a variety of compensatory ...
