Mechanical properties of the porcine coronary artery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Knowledge of the mechanical properties of arteries is important to understand vascular function during disease and the effect of interventions, such as PTCA treatment. A mechanical model of the vascular tree would facilitate the improvement of (balloon-)catheters and stents. The aim of this research is to propose general parameter values for the fiber-reinforced material model as proposed by Driessen et al. (2005) that can describe the arterial wall behavior of the porcine left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD, fig. 1a) at physiological axial stretch.
