Beschreibung:
This book describes the fundamental biology and mechanics of the vasculature and examines how this knowledge has underpinned the development of new clinical modalities, including endovascular treatment and vascularization of reconstructed tissue for regenerative medicine. Vascular engineering is a multidisciplinary field integrating vascular biology, hemodynamics, biomechanics, tissue engineering, and medicine. Each chapter offers insights into the dynamics of the circulatory system and explains how the impact of related disease conditions ¿ atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and cerebral infarction ¿ has generated a focus on developing expertise to both maintain and treat the vascular system.
Examines the interdisciplinary field of vascular engineering from understanding the functionality of the circulatory system to the implications for innovative medical treatments
