Evaluation of the effect of catheter on the guidewire motion in a blood vessel model by physical and numerical simulations

Various catheter simulators using a computer or blood vessel biomodels have been developed for training of medical students and young physicians. Moreover, we have developed a system to simulate a guidewire in blood vessels that uses both numerical analysis and experimental observation for the quant...
