Differential functional coupling between human saphenous cryoallografts and arteries: importance of the arterial type and the biomechanical parameter evaluated.

abstract：:The power-law based models for predicting shear-induced hemolysis are widely used in the optimization design of blood-contacting devices. However, this category of models has fallen short of accuracy when compared with the results of the in vitro experiments. The aim of this study is to develop an alternative model fr...

abstract：:As the aortic valve (AV) opens, the pump pressure head remains constant, which is reflected as a "notch/plateau" in pump pressure and flow signals. However, instantaneous flow estimation may be influenced by friction and is particularly difficult in axial pumps. Therefore, a new method to determine the duration of AV ...
