Compliance-matching vascular grafts with personalization potential

Georgios Rovas

Aortic diseases are characterized by dire prognosis and inadequate diagnosis, owing to their insidious yet lethal nature. Aortopathies, namely aortic aneurysms and dissections, along with certain congenital diseases, might necessitate surgical replacement ...

Numerical simulation of immiscible incompressible viscous, viscoelastic and elastic multiphase flows

Léo Aurélio Diserens

A unified numerical framework is presented for the modelling of multiphasic viscoelastic and elastic flows. The rheologies considered range from incompressible Newtonian or Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluids to Neo-Hookean elastic solids. The model is formulate ...

Growth, timing, & trajectory of vortices behind a rotating plate

Diego Francescangeli

The presence of aerodynamic vortices is widespread in nature. They can be found at small scales near the wing tip of flying insects or at bigger scale in the form of hurricanes, cyclones or even galaxies. They are identified as coherent regions of high vor ...

In situ photopolymerizable hydrogels for intracranial aneurysms treatment

Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by an artery dilation in the brain. An aneurysm is prone to rupture, which causes a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. The major drawbacks of the current treatments, open surgical clip ...

Pulsatile Flow-Induced Fatigue-Resistant Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Andreas Schmocker, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Oriane Poupart

An alternative intracranial aneurysm embolic agent is emerging in the form of hydrogels due to their ability to be injected in liquid phase and solidify in situ. Hydrogels have the ability to fill an aneurysm sac more completely compared to solid implants ...

Transient Neurovascular Interface for Minimally Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulation

Diego Ghezzi, Philippe Reymond, Laura Ferlauto, Adele Fanelli, Elodie Geneviève Zollinger

Neural interfaces are used to mitigate the burden of traumatic injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and mental disorders. However, the transient or permanent placement of an interface in close contact with the neural tissue requires invasive surgery, pote ...

Hydro-mechanical coupling in porous rocks: hidden dependences to the microstructure?

Lucas Xan Pimienta

While hydro-mechanical coupling in rocks is generally well understood, exotic rock poroelastic responses-such as unexpected dependence to fluid diffusion time and low skeleton moduli-have been reported. Hydro-mechanical coupling, or poroelasticity, explain ...

Early Morphofunctional Changes in AngII-Infused Mice Contribute to Regional Onset of Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Goran Lovric, Lydia Aslanidou

Aortic aneurysms and dissections are silent and lethal conditions, whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Although angiotensin II (AngII)-infused ApoE-/- mice have been widely used to study aortic aneurysm and dissection, early morphofunctiona ...

In vitro Implementation of Photopolymerizable Hydrogels as a Potential Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysms are increasingly being treated with endovascular therapy, namely coil embolization. Despite being minimally invasive, partial occlusion and recurrence are more frequent compared to open surgical clipping. Therefore, an alternative tr ...

Long noncoding RNA SNHG12 integrates a DNA-PK-mediated DNA damage response and vascular senescence

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging regulators of biological processes in the vessel wall; however, their role in atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. We used RNA sequencing to profile lncRNAs derived specifically from the aortic intima of Ldlr(- ...

How Flow Reduction Influences the Intracranial Aneurysm Occlusion: A Prospective 4D Phase-Contrast MRI Study

Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Reymond, Pierre Bouillot

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow-diverter stents are widely used for the treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. Various parameters may influence intracranial aneurysm thrombosis, including the flow reduction induced by flow-diverter stent implantation, ...

Neurovascular stent artifacts in 3D-TOF and 3D-PCMRI: Influence of stent design on flow measurement

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot

Purpose: The morphological and hemodynamic evaluations of neurovascular diseases treated with stents would benefit from noninvasive imaging techniques such as 3D time-of-flight MRI (3D-TOF) and 3D phase contrast MRI (3D-PCMRI). For this purpose, a comprehe ...

Hemodynamics of Focal Versus Global Growth of Small Cerebral Aneurysms

Pierre Bouillot

Background and PurposeHemodynamics play adriving role in the life cycle of brain aneurysms from initiation through growth until eventual rupture. The specific factors behind aneurysm growth, especially in small aneurysms, are not well elucidated. The goal ...

Analysis of morphological and haemodynamical indexes in abdominal aortic aneurysms as preliminary indicators of intraluminal thrombus deposition

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Claudia Maria Colciago

In this paper we study the correlation between the Wall Shear Stress (WSS), a haemodynamical index derived from numerical simulations, and an new index MFA-ILT for the characterisation of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm ...

Co-localization of microstructural damage and excessive mechanical strain at aortic branches in Angiotensin-II-infused mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Goran Lovric, Lydia Aslanidou, Mauro Ferraro

Animal models of aortic aneurysm and dissection can enhance our limited understanding of the etiology of these lethal conditions particularly because early-stage longitudinal data are scant in humans. Yet, the pathogenesis of often-studied mouse models and ...
