In this paper, we investigated several parameters with effect on the compressive force to assess the mechanical properties of interventional device. We find several parameters are highly influential and others are not. In our evaluation system, we prepared a box-shaped PVA-H and silicone with realistic geometry and carried out the measurement and evaluation of the pushability by using load cell machine. The parameters of velocity, position of device in the system do not affect the compressive force, whereas the length of catheter from the tip to fixed point is one of the most influential parameters for the force. Several behaviors such as passing through the curve or slip and stop can be observed and defined using this system. The balance of the bending force and the pushing force may make the tip with behavior of slip and stop or passing thorough the curve. The investigation of the evaluation system confirmed that high reproducibility with short error bar is indicated. The observation with movie record is also an advantage of our system because the high transparency of materials with silicone and PVA-H can check the inside of artery.

In vitro vascular models, primarily made of silicone, have been utilized for decades for studying hemodynamics and supporting the development of implants for catheter-based treatments of diseases such as stenoses and aneurysms. Hydrogels have emerged as prominent materials in tissue-engineering applications, offering distinct advantages over silicone models for fabricating vascular models owing to their viscoelasticity, low friction, and tunable mechanical properties. Our study evaluated the feasibility of fabricating thin-wall, anatomical vessel models made of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA-H) based on a patient-specific carotid artery bifurcation using a combination of 3D printing and molding technologies.

Piezoresistive pressure sensors based on flexible, ultrasensitive, and squeezable conductive sponges have recently attracted significant attention. However, the preparation of cost-effective conductive sponges with good stability and wide strain range for pressure sensing remains a challenge. Herein, a conductive poly(vinyl alcohol)/phosphoric acid gel electrolyte@polydimethylsiloxane (PVA/HPO@PDMS) composite was fabricated by impregnating a PDMS sponge into a PVA/HPO gel electrolyte.

Objective: In this paper, we investigated the parameters with effective traceability to assess the mechanical properties of interventional devices.
Methods: In our evaluation system, a box-shaped poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogel (PVA-H) and silicone were prepared with realistic geometry, and the measurement and evaluation of traceability were carried out on devices using load hand force. The phantom models had a total of five curve pathways to reach the aneurysm sac.

Background: Plaques in blood vessels exhibit a wide range of stiffness depending on disease conditions: stiffness is an important factor in plaque behavior. The geometrical change in plaque based on its behavior can affect blood flow patterns. Thus, it is important to study both blood flow and deformation of plaques and blood vessels.
