Computational study of the risk of restenosis in coronary bypasses

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

Coronary artery disease, caused by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary vessel wall, is one of the leading causes of death in the world. For high-risk patients, coronary artery bypass graft is the preferred treatment. Despite overall exce ...

A computational fluid-structure interaction analysis of coronary Y-grafts

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The stenotic coronary vessels are generally treated with coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs), which can be either arterial (internal mammary artery, radial artery) or venous (saphen ...

Review of the role played by the photosensitizer's photobleaching during photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the combined administration of photosensitizing drugs and light to treat a variety of malignant, pre-malignant and also non-malignant diseases. The reactive species resulting from the excitation of the photosensitizer ...

Photodynamic therapy for the treatment of atherosclerotic plaque: Lost in translation?

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Manish Jain

Acute coronary syndrome is a life-threatening condition of utmost clinical importance, which, despite recent progress in the field, is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Acute coronary syndrome results from a rupture or erosion of vulnerab ...

Upconversion fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells using ROS generating SiO2-coated lanthanide-doped NaYF4 nanoconstructs

Andrzej Sienkiewicz

Inorganic nanomaterials able to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) are promising components for modern medical applications. Activated by near-infrared light, up-converting beta-NaYF4 doped with Er3+ - Yb3+ and Tm3+- Yb3+ pair ions nanoparticles (UCNPs ...

In vivo measurement of the tissue oxygenation by time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy of protoporphyrin IX: Strategies to minimize artefacts associated with photoproducts

Georges Wagnières, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Veronika Huntosova

The determination of the oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) in real time in living biological tissues is of high interest for numerous therapeutics, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy. The minimally invasive and real-time measurement of the ...

Large eddy simulations for blood dynamics in realistic stenotic carotids

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

In this paper, we consider large eddy simulations (LES) for human stenotic carotids in presence of atheromasic plaque, a pathological condition where transitional effects to turbulence may occur, with relevant clinical implications such as plaque rupture. ...

Fast simulations of patient-specific haemodynamics of coronary artery bypass grafts based on a POD-Galerkin method and a vascular shape parametrization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Elena Faggiano

In this work a reduced-order computational framework for the study of haemodynamics in three-dimensional patient-specific configurations of coronary artery bypass grafts dealing with a wide range of scenarios is proposed. We combine several efficient algor ...

Investigation of cell death mechanisms in human lymphatic endothelial cells undergoing photodynamic therapy

Witold Waldemar Kilarski

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to induce ablation and functional occlusion of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels. However, direct effects of PDT on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) have not been studied so far. The aim of this stud ...

Imaging of the stroke-related changes in the vascular system of the mouse brain with the use of extended focus Optical Coherence Microscopy

Theo Lasser, Daniel Pawel Szlag

We used Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM) to monitor structural and functional changes due to ischemic stroke in small animals brains in vivo. To obtain lateral resolution of 2.2 μm over the range of 600 μm we used extended focus configuration of OCM inst ...
