Dendritic heat convection on a disc

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the optimal tree-shaped flow paths for cooling a disc-shaped body by convection, where the authors assumed that the ducts are narrow enough so that the flow is hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed.

Flow and thermal characteristics of offset branching network

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional model was formulated to compare the flow and heat transfer characteristics of symmetric/asymmetric tree-like branching networks and symmetric / asymmetric (offset) leaf-like networks and showed that the influence of the asymmetry is very small for treelike branching network at low branching number.

Kissing Balloon Inflation in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

TL;DR: Kissing balloon (KB) inflation was the first specific bifurcation technique to have been developed for percutaneous bIfurcation interventions and continues to currently play an important role and is sought to provide a comprehensive overview of all those aspects.

Biomechanical considerations in the design of graft: the homeostasis hypothesis.

TL;DR: The principles of engineering design and biofluid and biosolid mechanics principles that may have the greatest bearing on mechanical homeostasis and the long-term outcome of CABG are outlined.
