This review summarizes the restenotic process that occurs after the implantation of bare
metal coronary stents. The pathology of in-stent restenosis is distinct from that seen after …

Stent design and geometry influence the fluid mechanical environment in an artery and
hence affect clinical outcomes of restenosis. There is clearly a role for biomechanics in …

The robot-assisted endovascular catheterization system (RAECS) has the potential to
address some of the procedural challenges and separate interventionalists from the X-ray …

OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that the bifurcation angle (BA) may affect the outcome of
crush stenting (CS) of bifurcation lesions and thus set out to determine the effect of the BA on …

This study is part of a FDA-sponsored project to evaluate the use and limitations of
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in assessing blood flow parameters related to medical …

The magnetic force effects and differently shaped nano-particles in diverging tapering
arteries having stenoses are being studied in current research via blood flow model. There …

There is a general lack of quantitative understanding about how specific design features of
endovascular stents (struts and mesh design, porosity) affect the hemodynamics in …

Restenosis limits the effectiveness of stents, but the mechanisms responsible for this
phenomenon remain incompletely described. Stent geometry and expansion during …

Endovascular stents reside in a dynamic flow environment and yet the impact of flow on
arterial drug deposition after stent-based delivery is only now emerging. We employed …

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death globally and the most
common pathological process is atherosclerosis. Over the years, these cardiovascular …
