Mechanical properties of human coronary arteries

2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2010
The lack of reliable mechanical data on coronary arteries and, more specifically, on their wall strength hampers the application of numerical models and simulations to vascular problems, and precludes physicians from knowing in advance the response of ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Additively Manufactured Diamond for Energy Scavenging and Wireless Power Transfer in Implantable Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing is expanding beyond mechanical prosthetics into microelectronic implants. This work presents a diamond‐titanium hybrid that enables wireless power transfer, localized heating, and flow sensing. The use of additive manufacturing combined with the biocompatibility of the diamond‐titanium hybrid material paves the way toward new ...

Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Successful surgical management of atherosclerotic dual right coronary artery with short-term follow-up

Indian Heart Journal, 2015
Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are present in 0.2–1.4% of the general population. Dual right coronary artery is one of the rarest congenital anomalies (0.01%) of the coronary arteries.
