Multicomponent material property characterization of atherosclerotic human carotid arteries through a Bayesian Optimization based inverse finite element approach
CONCLUSION: The developed iFEM approach combined with the inverted GP model successfully predicted component-wise material properties of intact atherosclerotic human carotids ex-vivo under physiological-like loading conditions.SIGNIFICANCE: We developed a novel iFEM framework for the nonlinear, component-wise material characterization of atherosclerotic arteries and utilized it to obtain human atherosclerotic carotid material properties. The developed iFEM framework has great potential to be advanced for patient-specific in-vivo application.PMID:34864574 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104996

Combined stent-retriever and aspiration intra-arterial thrombectomy performance for fragmentable blood clots: A proof-of-concept computational study
This study focuses on two aspects of the thrombectomy simulation: i) Thrombus fragmentation on the basis of a failure model calibrated with experimental tests on clot analogs; ii) the combined stent-retriever and aspiration catheter MT procedure is modeled by adding both the proximal balloon guide catheter and the distal access catheter. The adopted failure criterion is based on maximum principal stress threshold value. If elements of the thrombus exceed this criterion during the retrieval simulation, then they are deleted from the calculation. Comparison with in-vitro tests indicates that the simulation correctly reproduc...

Sensors ‐based monitoring and treatment approaches for in‐stent restenosis
AbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) can progressively narrow arteries due to plaque accumulation on the inner walls of the blood vessels, which results in an obstructed blood flow, leading to heart attack, stroke, and even death if the obstruction is severe. A popular treatment for the disease is to use an intravascular mechanical device called the stent to achieve an immediate restoration of blood flow. However, the physical stimulation induced by the stent expansion can cause inflammation of the vessel tissue. As one of the most common post-stenting complications, re-narrowing of the vessel is the main pathology that le...

Human iPS-derived blood-brain barrier model exhibiting enhanced barrier properties empowered by engineered basement membrane
Biomaterials. 2022 Dec 23;293:121983. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121983. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe basement membrane (BM) of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a thin extracellular matrix (ECM) sheet underneath the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), plays crucial roles in regulating the unique physiological barrier function of the BBB, which represents a major obstacle for brain drug delivery. Owing to the difficulty in mimicking the unique biophysical and chemical features of BM in in vitro systems, current in vitro BBB models have suffered from poor physiological relevance. Here, we describe a highl...

The influence of blood composition and loading frequency on the behavior of embolus analogs
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Feb 18;140:105738. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105738. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn cases of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), mechanical thrombectomy (MT) can be used to directly remove lodged thromboemboli. Despite improvements in patient outcomes, one of the key factors affecting MT success is the mechanical properties of the occlusive thrombus. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the viscoelastic properties of embolus analogs (EAs) and determine the influence of EA hematocrit and loading frequency. Bovine blood EAs were created over a range of physiological hematocrits (0-6...

A new insight into the mechanical properties of nanobiofibers and vibrational behavior of atomic force microscope beam considering them as the samples
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Apr 5;142:105842. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105842. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNowadays, the utilization and production of polymeric nanofibers are expanding rapidly due to their unique and exclusive properties. The current study examined silk fibroin nanofibers, poly-L lactic acid (PLLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) as three widely-used biopolymers. In the first section, the mechanical properties of nanobiofibers, including elastic modulus as the first research variable, were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based nanoindentation and tensile testing (through a universal te...
