Abstract Catheter surgery is a minimally invasive treatment in which visual information is limited to a two-dimensional image generated by an X-ray camera. This results in the possibility that stress applied by the catheter onto a blood vessel wall damages the vessel. Doctors must therefore be skillful at catheter surgery. We proposed a catheter surgery simulator that visualizes the stress applied to the blood vessel wall using photoelasticity. The manufacture of this simulator requires creating blood vessel mimics that reproduce the physical properties of blood vessel tissue using photoelasticity. This study investigated the mechanical and photoelastic properties of gel materials and selected a gel composition suitable for making blood vessel mimics. We showed that by changing the compositions of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel and double network (DN) gel we could reproduce various blood vessel tissue properties.

SummaryBoth deep venous thrombosis and DIC are intermediate mechanisms of disease – both are a consequence of the deposition of fibrin-rich material in blood vessels some distance from the primary site of tissue destruction. The great difference in the sites of fibrin deposition may depend on the extent and site of activation of the clotting mechanism. DIC likely occurs in the fluid phase of the blood as a consequence of massive fibrin formation while thrombosis results from limited fibrin formation at the interface between blood and vessel wall. Leukocytes may be essential for attaching thrombi to the vessel wall in many places.
