Measurement of pressure and assessment of cavitation for a 22.5-kHz intra-arterial angioplasty device [PDF]
, 1996 This study was performed to understand better the mechanisms of action of an (22.5 kHz) ultrasonic wire catheter device used to remove atheromatous plaque in diseased blood vessels (ultrasonic angioplasty).

Usage of excimer laser in coronary and peripheral artery stenosis – analysis of its safety aspect
Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research, 2020 Introduction The technology of laser atherectomy has been known for about 20 years. Initial studies were not encouraging due to similar or lower efficacy compared to conventional angioplasty and greater complication rate.

Robust Landmark-based Stent Tracking in X-ray Fluoroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In clinical procedures of angioplasty (i.e., open clogged coronary arteries), devices such as balloons and stents need to be placed and expanded in arteries under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy. Due to the limitation of X-ray dose, the resulting images are often noisy.

Efficient isogeometric thin shell formulations for soft biological materials [PDF]
Biomech Model Mechanobiol (2017) 16:1569, 2016 This paper presents three different constitutive approaches to model thin rotation-free shells based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis. One approach is based on numerical integration through the shell thickness while the other two approaches do not need any numerical integration and so they are computationally more efficient. The formulation is designed

A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.

Gradient-enhanced continuum models of healing in damaged soft tissues [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, Springer Verlag,
2019, 18 (5), pp.1443-1460, 2019 Healing of soft biological tissue is the process of self-recovering or self-repairing the injured or damaged extracellular matrix (ECM). Healing is assumed to be stress-driven, with the objective of returning to a homeostatic stress metrics in the tissue after replacing the damaged ECM with new undamaged one.

Rounded notch method of femoral endarterectomy offers mechanical advantages in finite element models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objective: Use of a vascular punch to produce circular heel and toe arteriotomies for femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty is a novel technique. This study investigated the plausibility of this approach and the mechanical advantages of the technique using finite element models.
