Abstract:Accurate determination of the biomechanical implications of vascular surgeries or pathologies on patients requires developing patient-specific models of the organ or vessel under consideration. In this regard, combining the development of advanced constitutive laws that mimic the behaviour of the vascular tissue with advanced computer analysis provides a powerful tool for modelling vascular tissues on a patient-specific basis. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and provides soft biological tissue… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
