An In Vitro Experimental Evaluation of the Displacement Field in an Intracrania...
Pinho, D; Bento, D; Ribeiro, J; Lima, R; Mário VazThe purpose of this paper is to develop a system able to study experimentally the displacement field of an in vitro intracranial aneurysm. Origin and growth of aneurysms is the result of a complex interaction between biological processes in the arterial wall and the involved hemodynamic phenomena's. Once the aneurysm forms, the repetitive pressure and shear stresses exerted by the blood flow on the debilitated ...
