Abstract
The pathology of arteriosclerosis is associated with thrombus formation, where elevated hemodynamic stresses induce platelet activation and aggregation. In vitro flow and platelet measurements were conducted, aimed at quantifying the flow induced proacogulant properties of the platelets in models of arterial stenosis. Using DPIV (Digital Particle Image Velocimetry), the flow field of various stenosis models was quantified at Re = 300. Concurrently, in vitro platelet studies were conducted with siliconized glass stenosis models mounted in a recirculation loop, by measuring the platelets ability to support the activation of acetylated human prothrombin by factory Xa. The obtained data was analyzed in detail.
