Finite element-based feasibility study on utilizing heat flux sensors for early detection of vascular graft infections

Abstract Aortic vascular graft infections have high morbidity and mortality rate, however, patients often do not show symptoms. Continuous implant surface monitoring will allow for early detection of infections on implant surfaces, which allows for antibiotic treatment prior to biofilm formation. We...
