Role of elastin anisotropy in structural strain energy functions of arterial tissue

The vascular wall exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical properties. The identification of a strain energy function (SEF) is the preferred method to describe its complex nonlinear elastic properties. Earlier constituent-based SEF models, where elastin i ...

Methodologies to assess blood flow in cerebral aneurysms: Current state of research and perspectives

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luca Augsburger, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Reymond, Edouard Fonck

With intracranial aneurysms disease bringing a weakened arterial wall segment to initiate, grow and potentially rupture an aneurysm, current understanding of vessel wall biology perceives the disease to follow the path of a dynamic evolution and increasing ...

Effect of aging on elastin functionality in human cerebral arteries

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jean Fasel, Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Edouard Fonck

Aging affects elastin, a key component of the arterial wall integrity and functionality. Elastin degradation in cerebral vessels is associated with cerebrovascular disease. The goal of this study is to assess the biomechanical properties of human cerebral ...

Biomechanical analysis of cerebral arteries : role of elastin and its implication in aging and cerebrovascular disease

Edouard Fonck

The intent of this thesis is to study the function of elastin in cerebral arteries, its contribution into the aging process and its implication into different cerebral diseases and in particular cerebral aneurysms. As of today, little is known on the genes ...

Effect of elastin degradation on carotid wall mechanics as assessed by a constituent-based biomechanical model

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Luca Augsburger, Sylvain Roy, Edouard Fonck, Gilles Prod'Hom

Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the ...
