VR simulation of interventional radiology and microsurgery

Currently trainees typically learn surgery techniques directly on mocks, animals or cadavers. For safety, cost and ethics reasons, one cannot try all possible strategies to achieve efficient learning. Virtual Reality (VR) based surgery training systems int ...

Methodologies to assess blood flow in cerebral aneurysms: Current state of research and perspectives

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Reymond

With intracranial aneurysms disease bringing a weakened arterial wall segment to initiate, grow and potentially rupture an aneurysm, current understanding of vessel wall biology perceives the disease to follow the path of a dynamic evolution and increasing ...

A Real-Time Simulator for Interventional Radiology

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lindo Robert Duratti

Interventional radiologists manipulate guidewires and catheters and steer stents through the patient’s vascular system under X-ray imaging for treatment of vascular diseases. The complexity of these procedures makes trainingmandatory in order to master han ...

Fluid mechanics of cerebral aneurysms and effects of intracranial stents on cerebral aneurysm flow

This thesis focuses on intracranial aneurysms and particularly on the effect of blood flow in the three major phases that characterize an aneurysm: initiation, growth and rupture. As it stands today, blood flow is the major driver of this disease. The unde ...

Controlled Release Drug Coatings on Flexible Neural Probes

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, André Mercanzini, Philippe André Guy Colin

We present the development, characterization and in vivo validation of a novel drug eluting coating that has been applied to flexible neural probes. The coating consists of drug eluting nanoparticles loaded with an anti-inflammatory drug embedded in a biod ...

PPS-PEG surface coating to reduce thrombogenicity of small diameter ePTFE vascular grafts

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Aims: Patency failure of small vascular synthetic grafts is still a major problem for coronary and peripheral revascularization. Thus, three new surface coatings of small synthetic grafts were tested in an acute pig model to evaluate their thrombogenicity ...
