Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs), ...
The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...
Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) is a powerful, non‐invasive technique that utilises radioactively labelled tracer particles to visualise and quantify the complex internal dynamics of ...
