Accuracy is critical if we are to trust simulation predictions. In settings such as fluid-structure interaction, it is all the more important to obtain reliable results to understand, for example, the impact of pathologies on blood flows in the cardiovascu ...
Cardiovascular diseases have a major impact in Western countries. Mathematical models and numerical simulations can help the understanding of physiological and pathological processes, complementing the information provided to medical doctors by medical ima ...
This paper describes how specimens of nervous tissue can be prepared for successful imaging in X-ray Micro Computed Tomography (μCT), and how this method can be used to study the integration of nervous tissue into a polymeric scaffold. The sample preparati ...
We discuss in this thesis the numerical approximation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with a particular concern (albeit not exclusive) on hemodynamics applications. Firstly, we model the blood as an incompressible fluid and the artery wall as ...
The fluid structure interaction mechanism in vascular dynamics can be described by either 3D or 1D models, depending on the level of detail of the flow and pressure patterns needed for analysis. A successful strategy that has been proposed in the past year ...
Previous theoretical models of arterial remodeling in response to changes in blood flow were based on the assumption that material properties of the arterial wall remain unchanged during the remodeling process. According to experimental findings, however, ...
In this note, we propose Steklov-Poincaré iterative algorithms (mutuated from the analogy with heterogeneous domain decomposition) to solve fluidstructure interaction problems. Although our framework is very general, the driving application is concerned wi ...
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...
This paper presents the results of the Virtual Intracranial Stenting Challenge (VISC) 2007, an international initiative whose aim was to establish the reproducibility of state-of-the-art haemodynamical simulation techniques in subject-specific stented mode ...
Background and Objectives Microparticles (MPs) are small phospholipid vesicles of less than 1 mu m, shed in blood flow by various cell types. These MPs are involved in several biological processes and diseases. MPs have also been detected in blood products ...
