This review describes proposed mechanical causes of drug-eluting stent thrombosis and notes that many are identifiable by greyscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It highlights that evidence linking specific IVUS findings to stent thrombosis remains uncertain because relatively few stent thrombosis cases have been…

This paper studies chaotic mixing driven by breakup and reformation of a magnetic particle chain under a rotating magnetic field using direct numerical simulation. The authors report that chain motion and the degree of chaos depend strongly on the Mason number, and that a limited Mason number range produces repeated…
