Topic: The thesis focuses on the potential of ultrasound in the treatment of stenoses.
With the aim of exploring the feasibility of a new drug treatment modality for stenosis assisted by ultrasound, the iliac artery presents the advantage of being a large-section vessel without being vital. The research will therefore target a configuration of endofibrosis of the external iliac artery, which corresponds to a thickening of the inner wall of this artery.
