TODO - Using knowledge gained from bioengineering studies, current vascular
research focuses on the delineation of the natural history and risk
assessment of clinical vascular entities with significant morbidity and
mortality, making the development of new, more accurate predictive
criteria a great challenge. Additionally, conclusions derived from
computational simulation studies have enabled the improvement and
modification of many biotechnology products that are used routinely in
the treatment of vascular diseases. This review highlights the promising
role of the bioengineering applications in the vascular field.
