Abstract:In recent years, endovascular treatments, in which a treatment device such as a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel to directly approach a lesion, have become increasingly popular worldwide. For safer treatment and further optimization of medical devices, a deeper understanding of the vascular biotribology of the medical devices, biomodels, and blood vessels and an appropriate evaluation method are required. This review paper presents the current state of research on the evaluation of the friction between… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
