Microthrombosis Induced by Mechanical Factors and Light-dye Treatment
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel. When thrombosis happens in the brain, it would cause stroke; when happens in the heart, it would cause heart attack. If a thrombus breaks and travels to the lung, it would cause pulmonary embolism and may lead to death. Although many studies have led to a better understanding of the mechanical mechanisms for the thrombus formation, they have been conducted under the conditions that the flow is either retarded (flow stasis) or disturbed (secondary flow), or the vessels are injured/damaged by using electrical, biochemical, light-dye treatment, or photodynamic methods. The first objective of our study is to test the hypothesis that thrombi could be formed in non-injured bent/stretched microvessels with normal laminar blood flow by the localized hydrodynamic stimuli.
