Modeling Cardiovascular Device-Induced Thrombosis and Thromboembolism
Thrombosis remains a significant clinical issue manifesting in heart attacks and strokes. However, the challenges extend to the success of cardiovascular devices. Given the complex process associated with thrombosis, developing an accurate computational model is not a trivial matter particularly validating the model in an effective and efficient manner. Leveraging canonical experiments that acquire a breadth of data will be crucial to validate these computational models. This presentation will cover the initial model and experimental validation and ongoing approaches that add more complexity and accuracy.
Biography
Dr. Keefe Manning is currently Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Surgery at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University and the Penn State Hershey Medical Center, respectively. He obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2001. He was a post-doctoral fellow at The Pennsylvania State University in Bioengineering. He is a member of the ESB, ASME (Fellow), AHA, BMES, AIMBE (Fellow), ASEE, and Biorheology. His present research mainly focuses on cardiovascular fluid dynamics, cardiovascular devices, stroke, and thrombosis.
