Venous anastomotic intimal hyperplasia (IH) observed in the arteriovenous shunt (AVS) has been associated with disturbed hemodynamics. This study aims to correlate hemodynamics with wall histology and wall mechanics by examining the flow field in AVS with ...
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...
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 ...
Surgeons require significant training to acquire sufficient dexterity and hand-eye coordination to manipulate objects skilfully under the microscope. This paper presents a computer-based real-time simulation of microsurgery as well as the hardware setup. I ...
