Why the study?
Does pulsatile flow affect the radial compliance of porcine coronary arteries ex vivo compared to steady flow?
Does pulsatile flow affect the radial compliance of porcine coronary arteries ex vivo compared to steady flow?
Radial compliance of coronary arteries is significantly reduced under pulsatile flow compared to steady flow, which has important implications for understanding stent biomechanics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Pulsatile flow data should inform but not guide stent-artery modeling; leaves open translation to human in vivo coronary biomechanics.
Brandt-Wunderlich et al. (2022) studied this question.
