BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large-bore catheters allow mechanical thrombectomy in
ischemic stroke by engaging and retrieving clots without additional devices (direct aspiration …

… experimentally determined (12.562×10 6 Pa s/m 3 ) and accounted for in our calculations. …
F catheter (length 1.25 m) and 159.77 mL/s vs 6.59 mL/s in a Flexor 8 F sheath (length 0.9 m). …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracranial aneurysm treatment by flow diverters aims at
triggering intra-aneurysmal thrombosis. By combining in vitro blood experiments with particle …

… The compartment was filled with a water glycerol mixture of 56.6%/43.4% (m Gl /m w ) to
match the refractive index of the silicone aorta (n ≈ 1.402) at 45 C. Both sidewalls and the top …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Blood flow should be interrupted during mechanical
thrombectomy to prevent embolization of clot fragments. The purpose of our study was to provide …

… U pe ≈0.701 m/s at the outlet tube. Using a density of ρ=1135.9 kg/m 3 , a pressure drop of
ΔP=40 mmHg (≈5332.88 kg/(ms 2 )) and a normal velocity of U n =U pe =0.701 m/s the loss …

Purpose For blood pumps with long term indication, blood stagnation can result in excessive
thromboembolic risks for patients. This study numerically investigates the washout …

The flow field in the respiratory and vascular system is known to be influenced by the flexibility
of the walls. However, up to now, most of the experimental biofluidic investigations have …

BACKGROUND: Hyperreninemia after cardiac surgery is associated with cardiovascular
instability. Angiotensin II (AT-II) could potentially attenuate hyperreninemia while maintaining …

… The fluid, a water glycerol mixture with a ratio of 56.4/43.6 (m Gl /m W ), has been tempered
at 45 C (±1) to achieve the viscosity of high sheared blood and a refractive index (RI) of …
