In the present study, we discussed the characteristics of torque transmission and rotational response of the guide-wire in curved blood vessel model with change in the PVA concentration of the hydrogel and thickness of blood vessel model.}, issn = {2617-8699}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3993/jfbi09201205}, url = {http://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jfbi/4881.html} }
