Biocompatibility: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases

Biocompatibility means the compatibility of artificial materials in direct contact with the human organism and the resistance of materials in the biological environment. These material properties are particularly important for implant dentistry. Lack of biocompatibility can provoke implant rejection. What is biocompatibility? Biocompatibility means the compatibility of artificial materials in direct contact with the human … Biocompatibility: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases

Aortic Dissection: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Aortic dissection is the detachment of the inner wall layer of the aorta, the intima, from the middle wall layer known as the media. In most cases, aortic dissection originates from an injury or tear to the intima, which forms the portal of entry for hemorrhage. The hemorrhage can lead to widening of the dissection … Aortic Dissection: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Vascular Prosthesis: Treatment, Effect & Risks

A vascular prosthesis is an implant that replaces natural blood vessels. It is mainly used for chronic vasoconstriction, bypass surgery or severe vasodilatation. What is a vascular prosthesis? A vascular prosthesis is an implant that replaces natural blood vessels. It is used primarily for chronic vasoconstriction (see illustration), bypass surgery, or severe vasodilatation. A vascular … Vascular Prosthesis: Treatment, Effect & Risks

Arteriogenesis: Function, Role & Diseases

Arteriogenesis refers to the growth of collateral arteries after stenosis and is distinct from angiogenesis. Factors such as shear forces, vascular dilatation, and monocyte accumulation play a role in the process. In the future, patients will likely be able to undergo “natural” bypass by inducing arteriogenesis. What is arteriogenesis? Arteriogenesis refers to the growth of … Arteriogenesis: Function, Role & Diseases

Implant: Treatment, Effect & Risks

An implant is an artificial material that is implanted into the body and remains there for a long time or permanently. A distinction is made between functional, plastic and medical implants, respectively. What is an implant? An implant is an artificial material that is implanted into the body and remains there for a long time … Implant: Treatment, Effect & Risks
