Thrombus rupture via cavitation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Aneurysm growth is accompanied by formation of intraluminal thrombus. The onset of thrombus rupture via unstable void growth is studied in the present note. The experimentally calibrated constitutive model of thrombus developed by Wang et al. (2001) is enhanced with a failure description and used for analysis of cavitation. It is found that unstable cavity growth can start at hydrostatic tension of 0.18 MPa which lies within the physiological range of stresses in the arterial wall.

Predicting intraprocedural rupture and thrombus formation during coiling of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Intraprocedural rupture and thrombus formation are serious complications during coiling of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, and they more often occur in patients with anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms. OBJECTIVE To identify independent predictors of intraprocedural rupture and thrombus formation during coiling of ruptured ACoA aneurysms. METHODS Between January 2008 ...
متن کاملNew insights into the mechanisms of water-stress-induced cavitation in conifers.
Cavitation resistance is a key parameter to understand tree drought tolerance but little is known about the mechanisms of air entry into xylem conduits. For conifers three mechanisms have been proposed: (1) a rupture of pit margo microfibrils, (2) a displacement of the pit torus from its normal sealing position over the pit aperture, and (3) a rupture of an air-water menisci in a pore of the pi...
متن کاملDo xylem fibers affect vessel cavitation resistance?
Possible mechanical and hydraulic costs to increased cavitation resistance were examined among six co-occurring species of chaparral shrubs in southern California. We measured cavitation resistance (xylem pressure at 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity), seasonal low pressure potential (P(min)), xylem conductive efficiency (specific conductivity), mechanical strength of stems (modulus of elastic...
متن کاملCavitation fatigue. Embolism and refilling cycles can weaken the cavitation resistance of xylem.
Although cavitation and refilling cycles could be common in plants, it is unknown whether these cycles weaken the cavitation resistance of xylem. Stem or petiole segments were tested for cavitation resistance before and after a controlled cavitation-refilling cycle. Cavitation was induced by centrifugation, air drying of shoots, or soil drought. Except for droughted plants, material was not sig...
متن کاملRelationships among xylem transport, biomechanics and storage in stems and roots of nine Rhamnaceae species of the California chaparral.
Here, hypotheses about stem and root xylem structure and function were assessed by analyzing xylem in nine chaparral Rhamnaceae species. Traits characterizing xylem transport efficiency and safety, mechanical strength and storage were analyzed using linear regression, principal components analysis and phylogenetic independent contrasts (PICs). Stems showed a strong, positive correlation between...
