Abstract:
Infra-inguinal arterial bypass is becoming increasingly popular as a means of alleviating incapacitating symptoms of atherosclerosis and other progressive diseases affecting the arteries of the lower limb. The role of this procedure in limb salvage is controversial but an aggressive attitude is emerging from many centres. It is accepted that the majority of atherosclerotic patients have a short life expectancy but reconstructive vascular surgery has an important role to play in improving their quality of life. Progress in infra-inguinal bypass surgery has centred mainly on the development of s

Abstract:
The failure behavior of collagenous soft tissues is important for clinical problems of plaque rupture and trauma. Cyclic tests require high frequencies that may affect the strength properties of the soft tissues. Experimental results of mechanical response of blood vessels to physiologic loads can be used to model and predict plaque rupture and direct medical therapy or surgical intervention. The goal of the study is to measure the mechanical failure properties of arteries to determine if they are strain rate and cycle dependant and to measure the progressive damage of arteries with time depen

Abstract:
The motivation for this research into flow in pipes with non-uniform geometry comes from physiological flows. It is now widely believed that haemodynamics plays an important role in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. Experiments have shown that the preferred sites for atherogenesis are regions of low wall shear stress. The build-up of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries can lead to arterial blockage and coronary failure. Previous studies have examined uniformly curved pipes and, more recently, uniformly curved and twisted pipes. However, it is well known that the a

Abstract:
Atherosclerotic plaque caps are composed of a composite soft tissue material that becomes subjected to cyclic loading under stenotic flow conditions. The cyclic loading causes the plaque cap to fatigue and eventually fail. The hypothesis of this work is that arteries and plaque caps may fatigue which may be predicted by a stress vs. number of cycles (S-N) curve. The S-N curve has not been determined for almost any biological soft tissue. The Specific Aim of the thesis is to quantify an S-N curve for normal arterial soft tissue collected from cyclic tension testing. Coronary arteries f

Lysophosphatidylcholine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, LPC) is the most abundant glycerol-based lysophospholipid present in cell membranes and oxidized lipoproteins. It has been proposed that LPC contributes to the altered vaso-reactivity associated with various cardiovascular diseases in which elevated LPC levels were identified. However, the contribution of LPC in regulating vascular resistance has not been completely elucidated, as the majority of previous studies have used either large blood vessels or isolated cells.

Convective fluid motion through artery walls aids in transvascular transport of macromolecules. Although measurements of convective filtration have been reported, they were all obtained under constant transmural pressure. However, arterial pressure in vivo is pulsatile. Therefore experiments were designed to compare filtration under steady and pulsatile pressure conditions. Hydraulic conductance was measured in cannulated excised rabbit carotid arteries at steady pressure. Next, pulsatile pressure trains were applied within the same vessels, and simultaneously, arterial distension was monitore

In mice thoracodorsal resistance arteries Panx1 channels are co localized with α1D-adrenoceptors on smooth muscle cells, and have been reported to open after α1D-adrenoceptor stimulation to release ATP which is then responsible for causing vasoconstriction by activati
