Coronary flow is different from the flow in other parts of the arterial system because it is
influenced by the contraction and relaxation of the heart. To model coronary flow …

As digital imaging and computing power increasingly develop, so too does the potential to
use these technologies in ophthalmology. Image processing, analysis and computer vision …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a functional index quantifying the severity of coronary artery
lesions and is clinically obtained using an invasive, catheter-based measurement. Recently …

Objectives: This study sought to demonstrate the 5-year clinical and functional multislice
computed tomography angiographic results after implantation of the fully resorbable …

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary bifurcation lesions
remains a subject of debate. Many studies have been published in this setting. They are …

Evidence suggests that atherogenesis is linked to local hemodynamic factors such as wall
shear stress. We investigated the velocity and wall shear stress patterns within a human …

Fabrication of vascular networks within engineered tissue remains one of the greatest
challenges facing the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Historically, the …

The branching pattern and vascular geometry of biological tree structure are complex. Here
we show that the design of all vascular trees for which there exist morphometric data in the …

Standard approaches for uncertainty quantification in cardiovascular modeling pose
challenges due to the large number of uncertain inputs and the significant computational …

Aims: Coronary artery bifurcations present a harmonious asymmetric geometry that is fractal
in nature. Interventional treatment of bifurcation lesions is a major technical issue. The …
