Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sam E. Stephens' research focuses on the development and testing of medical devices and models, particularly for cardiovascular applications. Recent publications include work on custom wall-less cardiovascular flow phantoms using tissue-mimicking gel, and an in vitro mitral valve model designed for improved ventricular access. Stephens has also investigated in vitro blood clot formation and dissolution for stroke-treatment device testing, and developed a customizable angioplasty balloon-forming machine aimed at precision medicine for coronary bifurcation lesions. Further research includes analyzing arterial and venous pressure waveforms during anesthesia and hemorrhage, and creating patient-based computational models to predict pressure drop in supravalvar aortic stenosis.
