Poly-vinyl alcohol hydrogel vascular models for in vitro aneurysm simulations: the key to low friction surfaces.
PURPOSE: To develop a vessel model with poly-vinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA-H) with low surface friction for in vitro simulations of vascular pathologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Simulations of variable vascular pathologies were based on human vessel casts reproduced in wax. Constructions of vascular m...
