This paper reviews the methods, benefits and challenges associated with the adoption and
translation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling within cardiovascular medicine …

Despite the reduction in late thrombotic events with newer-generation drug-eluting stents
(DES), late stent failure remains a concern following stent placement. In-stent …

The continuous monitoring of hemodynamics attainable with wireless implantable devices
would improve the treatment of vascular diseases. However, demanding requirements of …

Expert recommendations on the assessment of wall shear stress in human coronary arteries:
existing methodologies, technical considerations, and clinical applications | European Heart …

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are exposed to hemodynamic forces, which modulate EC
functions and vascular biology/pathobiology in health and disease. The flow patterns and …

Fully bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were designed to overcome the limitations of metallic
drug-eluting stents, which permanently cage the vessel wall, thereby preventing normal …

Vascular walls change their dimension and mechanical properties in response to injury such
as balloon angioplasty and endovascular stent implantation. Placement of bare metal stents …

Deployment of drug-eluting stents instead of bare-metal stents has dramatically reduced
restenosis rates, but rates of very late stent thrombosis (> 1 year postimplantation) have …

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world.
Inflammation and blood flow alterations are new markers emerging as possible …

Restenosis and thrombosis are potentially fatal complications of coronary stenting with a
recognized multifactorial etiology. The effect of documented risk factors, however, cannot …
