Vascular Engineering

Editors: Tanishita, Kazuo, Yamamoto, Kimiko (Eds.)
Examines the interdisciplinary field of vascular engineering from understanding the functionality of the circulatory system to the implications for innovative medical treatments
Covers cutting-edge research in molecular biology, biomedical engineering, and biophysics
Presents the development of new clinical modalities including endovascular treatment and vascularization of reconstructed tissue for regenerative medicine
Includes step-by-step explanations of methodology and the related background for medical professionals, researchers, engineers, and graduate students

This book describes the fundamental biology and mechanics of the vasculature and examines how this knowledge has underpinned the development of new clinical modalities, including endovascular treatment and vascularization of reconstructed tissue for regenerative medicine. Vascular engineering is a multidisciplinary field integrating vascular biology, hemodynamics, biomechanics, tissue engineering, and medicine. Each chapter offers insights into the dynamics of the circulatory system and explains how the impact of related disease conditions — atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and cerebral infarction — has generated a focus on developing expertise to both maintain and treat the vascular system.

As a comprehensive book in this expanding area, Vascular Engineering serves as a valuable resource for clinicians as well as academics and professionals working in biophysics, biomedical engineering, and nano and microrheology. Graduate students in these subject areas will also find this volume insightful.
