Quantification of the Phenomena Affecting Reflective Arterial Photoplethysmography

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely emerging method to assess vascular health in humans. The origins of the signal of reflective PPG on peripheral arteries have not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to identify and quantify the optical and biomecha ...

Considerations for analysis of endothelial shear stress and strain in FSI models of atherosclerosis

Lydia Aslanidou

Atherosclerosis is a lipid driven chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the formation of plaques at predilection sites. These predilection sites (side branches, curved segments, and bifurcations) have often been associated with disturbed sh ...

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 ...

Numerical simulation of left ventricular assist device implantations: comparing the ascending and the descending aorta cannulations

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi, Matteo Lesinigo, Jean Bonnemain

In this work we present numerical simulations of continuous flow left ventricle assist device implantation with the aim of comparing the ascending and the descending aorta anastomosis of outflow cannula. Despite the fact that the second approach is less in ...

Time course of flow-induced adaptation of carotid artery biomechanical properties, structure and zero-stress state in the arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Numerous studies have provided evidence of diameter adaptation secondary to flow-overload. but with ambiguous findings vis a vis other morphological parameters and information on the biomechanical aspects of arterial adaptation is rather incomplete. We exa ...

Effects of arterial wall stress on vasomotion

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Michèle Koenigsberger

Smooth muscle and endothelial cells in the arterial wall are exposed to mechanical stress. Indeed blood flow induces intraluminal pressure variations and shear stress. An increase in pressure may induce a vessel contraction, a phenomenon known as the myoge ...
