Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
, 2019 The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...

Automated Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis in X-ray Angiography using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Coronary artery disease leading up to stenosis, the partial or total blocking of coronary arteries, is a severe condition that affects millions of patients each year. Automated identification and classification of stenosis severity from minimally invasive procedures would be of great clinical value, but existing methods do not match the accuracy of ...

Flow and Deformation in a Multi-Component Arterial Stenosis Model
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011 Arterial stenoses consisting of atherosclerotic plaque are subject to mechanical forces under pulsatile blood flow that may cause plaque rupture, which often leads to heart attack or stroke.

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2014 In previous published research, the deployment of flow-diversion increases the intra-aneurysmal pressure by 20 mmHg in the case with a pre-aneurysm stenosis. The purpose of this study is to learn the influence to the aneurysm when a pre-aneurysm stenosis
