Endovascular stenting has matured into a commonly used treatment for peripheral arterial
disease (PAD) due to its minimally invasive nature and associated reductions in short-term …

As opposed to arterial distension in the radial plane, longitudinal wall motion (LWM) is a
multiphasic and bidirectional displacement of the arterial wall in the anterograde (ie, in the …

Background High failure rates of femoropopliteal artery (FPA) interventions are often
attributed in part to severe mechanical deformations that occur with limb movement. Axial …

Elastic and muscular arteries differ in structure, function, and mechanical properties, and
may adapt differently to aging. We compared the descending thoracic aortas (TA) and the …

High failure rates of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) stenting appear to be associated with
the inability of certain stent designs to accommodate severe biomechanical environment of …

The development of the vascular system was a critical step in the evolution of species. It
allowed organisms to meet the growing metabolic demands and opened the door for the …

High failure rates present challenges for surgical and interventional therapies for peripheral
artery disease of the femoropopliteal artery (FPA). The FPA's demanding biomechanical …

Objective—Arterial calcification and stiffening increase the risk of reconstruction failure,
amputation, and mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease, but underlying …

Abstract Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects the lower extremities and frequently results
in poor clinical outcomes, especially in the vessels below the knee. Understanding the …

Background: Poor durability of femoropopliteal artery (FPA) stenting is multifactorial, and
severe FPA deformations occurring with limb flexion are likely involved. Different stent …
