Shape memory alloys, and in particular NiTi are characterized by two unique behaviors, thermally or mechanically activated: the shape effect pseudo-elastic . These due to peculiar crystallographic structure of assure recovery original even after large deformations maintenance a constant applied force correspondence significant displacements. properties, joined with good corrosion bending resistance, biological magnetic resonance compatibility, explain diffusion, last 20 years, SMA production...
Abstract
Purpose: To determine if magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data can be used to create rigid models that are accurate representations of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and pulmonary trunk anatomy such refine selection patients for percutaneous valve implantation (PPVI). Materials Methods: Institutional review board approval informed patient consent were obtained. Twelve patients' MR analyzed elaborated input into a rapid prototyping (RP) system. RP successfully built presented two...
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is the most common lethal cardiac malformation of newborn. Its treatment , apart from transplantation Norwood operation. The initial procedure for this staged repair consists reconstructing a circulation where single outlet provides systemic perfusion and an interpositioning shunt contributes blood flow to lungs. To better understand unique physiology, computational model was constructed on basis compartmental analysis. Influences diameter, pulmonary vascular...
One of the relevant phenomenon associated with in-stent restenosis in coronary arteries is an altered haemodynamics stented region. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers possibility to investigate at a level detail not always accessible within experimental techniques. CFD can quantify and correlate local structures which might lead restenosis. The aim this work study realistic artery models replicate complete clinical procedure stent implantation. Two cases pathologic left anterior...
