Investigation of Polyurethane Shape Memory Polymer for Potential Applications in Brain Aneurysm Treatment
(2019-05-10)
Intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) are abnormal deformations in the walls of cranial arteries that can rupture, resulting in hemorrhage and stroke. Modern ICA treatments minimize the risk of rupture by limiting blood flow into ...
An investigation of the anisotropic mechanical properties and anatomical structure of porcine atrioventricular heart valves
(2018)
Valvular heart diseases are complex disorders, varying in pathophysiological mechanism and affected valve components. Understanding the effects of these diseases on valve functionality requires a thorough characterization ...
Synthesis and characterization of bio-compatible shape memory polymers with potential applications to endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms
(2018)
Intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) are focal dilations in the brain's arteries. When left untreated, ICAs can grow to the point of rupture, accounting for 50–80% of subarachnoid hemorrhage cases. Current treatments include ...
Biaxial mechanical data of porcine atrioventricular valve leaflets
(2018)
This dataset contains the anisotropic tissue responses of porcine atrioventricular valve leaflets to force-controlled biaxial mechanical testing. The set includes the first Piola-Kirchhoff Stress and the specimen stretches ...
Shape Memory Polyurethane with Porous Architectures for Potential Applications in Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment
(2019-04-05)
Conventional endovascular embolization of intracranial (or brain) aneurysms using helical detachable platinum coils can be time-consuming and occasionally requires retreatment due to incomplete coil packing. These shortcomings ...
Thermomechanical data of polyurethane shape memory polymer: Considering varying compositions
(2020-10)
This article presents data from the investigation of the thermal characteristics and mechanical behaviors of twelve different compositions of a polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP). Each of the SMP compositions has a ...
