WaveGraft –A novel endovascular device concept for restoring the natural arterial cushioning effect
(Atlantis Press, 2020-12)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The cushioning effect of large, healthy arteries reduces pulsatile afterload to the heart, reduces pulsatility in the microvasculature of target organs, and promotes coronary/cerebral perfusion.(1) ... -
An experimental evaluation of the device/arterial wall compliance mismatch for four stent-graft devices and a Multi-layer Flow Modulator (MFM) device for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015)Purpose: To experimentally investigate the arterial wall/device compliance mismatch of four stent-graft devices and a multi-layer flow modulator within the supra- and infra-renal locations for the treatment of Abdominal ... -
Long-term outcomes of open repair of inflammatory and atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms
(Journal of Surgery, 2016-01)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are a common vascular disease mostly affecting those over the age of 65 years. Open surgical repair (OSR) is considered the gold standard for the treatment of AAA, however ... -
Hemodynamic variations due to spiral blood flow through four patient-specific bifurcated stent graft configurations for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2012-10)Endovascular repair is now a recognised procedure for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, post-operative complications such as stent graft migration and thrombus may still occur. To assess these complications ...
