In Vitro Tube Model Capstone

Project Description

The scope of this project is to design, build, and test a replicable system for simulating vascular defects, such as aneurysms, using non-biologic materials. This system will model the vascular defect as well as allow for the testing of bioengineering devices to repair said defects. The system must be contained on a mobile platform for transportation to fluoroscopy.
