Thickness as an important parameter in designing vascular grafts
, Article 2014 21st Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering, ICBME 2014 ; Nov , 2014 , p. 40-43 ; Shamloo, A ; Samani, S. A ; Dodel, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The main goal of this study is to investigate the role of vascular graft thickness in wall stress gradient in anastomosis region. Atherosclerosis is a common heart disease causes high mortality rates every year. The gold standard treatment of atherosclerosis is replacing with autologous vein extracted from patient's body. Since proper autologous vein is limited, researchers have made efforts to achieve compliance engineered blood vessels. Mechanical stress has great effect on both smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells and it is considered as a stimulus in plaque formation. In this study, we evaluate the role of thickness in wall stress of anastomosis region. For this purpose, two...
