Implementation of a graft surveillance programme for infrainuginal vascular bypass surgery [PDF]
, 2010 Aim: Patients undergoing bypass graft placement in the lower limb are often entered into a graft surveillance programme using duplex scanning. The aim of this programme is to identify stenoses in vein grafts before they become symptomatic and treat these

“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]
, 2015 Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Efficient isogeometric thin shell formulations for soft biological materials
, 2017 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 ...

Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
, 1997 A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.
