A hybrid mock circulatory loop integrated with a LED-PIV system for the investigation of AAA compliant phantoms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and require extensive investigation through in-vitro studies. Mock Circulatory Loops (MCLs) are advanced in-vitro platforms that accurately replicate physiological and pathological hemodynamic conditions, while also allowing for precise and patient-specific data collection. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is the standard flow visualization technique for in-vitro studies, but it is costly and requires strict safety measures. High-power Light Emitting Diode illuminated PIV (LED-PIV) offers a safer and cheaper alternative.

Methods

In this study, we aim to demonstrate the feasibility of a Hybrid-MCL integrated with a LED-PIV system for the investigation of Abdomin
