Given the extensive and routine use of cardiovascular devices, a major limiting factor to their
success is the thrombotic rate that occurs. This poses direct risk to the patient and requires …

The definitive treatment for end-stage renal disease is kidney transplantation, which remains
limited by organ availability and post-transplant complications. Alternatively, an implantable …

Soft robotic devices containing multiple actuating elements have successfully recapitulated
complex biological motion, leading to their utility in biomedical applications. However, there …

The intraluminal thrombus (ILT) has been shown to negatively impact the progression of the
abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The formation of this thrombus layer has been …

Abstract Objective Customized Fontan designs, generated by computer-aided design (CAD)
and optimized by computational fluid dynamics simulations, can lead to novel, patient …

Objectives False lumen (FL) thrombosis status for Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD)
after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is critical for evaluating aortic remodeling …

Background: Patients with single ventricle heart defects receive 3 stages of operations
culminating in the Fontan procedure. During the Fontan procedure, a vascular graft is …

To assess whether in-silico models can be used to predict the risk of thrombus formation in
pulmonary artery pressure sensors (PAPS), a chronic animal study using pigs was …

Purpose Distal re-entry tears play a significant role in false lumen (FL) thrombosis, which will
strongly affect the postoperative long-term survival of patients with type B aortic dissection …
