Abstract
AbstractArtificial vascular treatment is an emerging interdisciplinary subject of medicine. Although the use of artificial vessels has led to many successful advancements, blood clotting remains a major challenge, especially in terms of mural clots created along the vessel wall that do not completely block the vessel. The main objective of this study is to present a method for declotting artificial vessels. This research introduces a novel thrombectomy technique in artificial vessels by employing nano-magnetic particles under a rotating magnetic field to remove mural clots in artificial vessels. A mathematical model describes the relationship between process parameters. In vitro tests confirm the feasibility of nano-magnetic thrombectomy in cleaning and declotting artificial vessels. The results show that the clot fragments are nano-sized, which eliminates the risk of distal emboli as a concern of using current atherectomy techniques. Meanwhile, no damage to the artificial vessels is observed. The results show that the frequency of rotating the magnetic field has the greatest effect on clot removal. The conceptual principles stated in this study also have the potential to be used in other vascular depositions, such as the accumulation of lipids, and calcification atherosclerosis.
