DESCRIPTION:Biomedical Engineering Research Seminar\n\nLea Morath\n\nMichig
 an Tech University\n\nAbstract\n\nHeart disease is the leading cause of dea
 th in the US\, with coronary artery disease being the most prevalent form o
 f heart disease. Balloon angioplasty and stent placement is a common treatm
 ent with 600\,000 stents being placed in 2020. However\, each generation of
  these medical devices has been met with unexpected bioincompatibilities\, 
 such as high restenosis with bare metal stents and late-stage thrombosis wi
 th drug eluting stents. The development of vascular materials has tradition
 ally proceeded with the use of young and healthy animals. However\, older a
 nd diseased humans are most frequently the recipients of these devices. To 
 investigate the role of age and atherogenic backgrounds on material biocomp
 atibility\, vascular materials were implanted into atherogenic mice and old
 er rats. In both atherogenic and older environments\, significant differenc
 es were observed in the biological responses that could strongly impact the
  development of vascular materials.
