Vascular atresia are often treated via transcatheter recanalization or surgical vascular
anastomosis due to congenital malformations or coronary occlusions. The cellular response …

Abstract Purpose The Wall Shear Stress (WSS) is the component tangential to the boundary
of the normal stress tensor in an incompressible fluid, and it has been recognized as a …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death globally. Currently,
diagnosis and intervention in CAD are typically performed via minimally invasive cardiac …

Purpose Wall shear stress (WSS) is a critically important physical factor contributing to
atherosclerosis. Mapping the spatial distribution of local, oscillatory WSS can identify …

Approximately 4 million people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) present with critical
limb ischemia each year, requiring urgent revascularization to avoid loss of limb. Minimally …

Coronary artery disease is the most common type of cardiovascular disease, affecting> 18
million adults, and is responsible for> 365 k deaths per year in the US alone. Wall shear …

Locally elevated wall shear stress (WSS) has been linked with plaque rupture and erosion,
which can then lead to major adverse cardiac events. We have previously demonstrated …

Recent advances in 3D printing allow the generation of tissue models that provide a unique
in vitro platform to recapitulate and analyze complex cardiovascular anatomies, including …

Wall shear stress (WSS) has been associated with development of high-risk plaque, which
increases the likelihood for major adverse cardiac events. Recently, we have used a …

Wide-field and noncontact imaging technique called laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is
utilized to map blood flow. To greatly improve prediction accuracy, the block-matching along …
