Vascular stents have emerged as an effective treatment for occlusive vascular disease.
Despite their success and widespread use, outcomes for patients receiving stents are still …

Recent development of computational technology allows a level of knowledge of
biomechanical factors in the healthy or pathological cardiovascular system that was …

Background—Stent-based therapy in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries in
patients with peripheral artery disease is compromised by restenosis and risk of stent …

The mechanisms by which intracranial aneurysms develop, enlarge, and rupture are
unknown, and it remains difficult to collect the longitudinal patient-based information needed …

A stress-driven model for the relation between the collagen morphology and the loading
conditions in arterial walls is proposed. We assume that the two families of collagen fibers in …

Since the first human procedure in the late 1980s, vascular stent implantation has been
accepted as a standard form of treatment of atherosclerosis. Despite their tremendous …

Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a promising new alternative
to the traditional surgical repair. However, the endovascular approach suffers problems such …

This work focuses on fluid–structure interaction (FSI) between a curved (tortuous) coronary
artery with an implanted stent, pulsatile blood flow, and heart contractions. The goal is to …

Treatment of coronary artery stenosis with percutaneous coronary angioplasty and stenting
is sometimes complicated by neointimal hyperplasia, possibly due to interaction of the stent …

Evolving constituent composition and organization are important determinants of the
biomechanical behaviour of soft tissues. In arteries, vascular smooth muscle cells and …
