Biomechanical and morphological characterization of common iliac vein remodeling: Effects of venous reflux and hypertension
… injured chronically in canines by disrupting the chordae tendineae. The conventional inflation-extension protocol in conjunction with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was utilized to investigate the passive biomechanical response of both control common iliac veins (from 9 dogs) and common iliac …

Development of a high-fidelity biorobotic cardiovascular in vitro simulator
… structures (such as papillary muscles, chordae tendineae, ventricular trabeculae, valves, moderator bands) are highly complex and challenging to replicate using current manufacturing methods. In this thesis, I propose a biorobotic hybrid heart that preserves organic intracardiac …

A Comparative In Vitro Study of the Flow Characteristics Distal to Mechanical and Natural Mitral Valves
Mechanical heart valve (MHV) flows are characterized by high shear stress, regions of recirculation, and high levels of turbulent fluctuations. It is well known that these flow conditions are hostile to blood constituents, which could lead to thromboembolism. In the ongoing effort to reduce …
