Endovascular stents are widely used for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
However, the development of in-stent restenosis and downstream PAD progression remain …

Temperature estimation is a fundamental step in assessment of the efficacy of thermal
therapy. A thermochromic material sensitive within the temperature range 52.5° C–75° C …

This paper reviews applications of experimental modelling in vascular access for
hemodialysis. Different techniques that are used in in-vitro experiments are bulk pressure …

Arterio-venous grafts are a viable option for hemodialysis as long-term vascular access. The
leading cause of Arterio-venous Grafts (AVG) failure is the development of intimal …

Prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) are indicated for vascular access for long-term
hemodialysis in patients in whom creation or maintenance of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) …

An accurate estimation of low blood velocities whose Doppler shifts span the wall filter cutoff,
such as near the wall in recirculation or disturbed flow regions, is important for accurate …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the condition where renal function declines or renal
structure is damaged. The disease has five stages of severity, where the final stage is known …

Cardiovascular fluid dynamics exhibit complex flow patterns, such as recirculation and
vortices. Quantitative analysis of these complexities supports diagnosis, leading to early …

A principal causa de não funcionalidade dos cateteres venosos centrais para a hemodiálise
está associada à formação de trombos. Esta, por sua vez, depende de fatores físicos do …

Literature and market analysis have highlighted the lack of flow phantom technologies able
to challenge innovative medical imaging devices, such as Ultrasound and Magnetic …
