A lecturer from the Electrical Engineering Department at UOT publishes a research in an international journal in cooperation with UPM a Malaysian University

Assis. Prof. Dr. Saad Mutashar Abbas, from Electrical Engineering Department, Electronic Engineering Branch, published a paper entitled

"Health Care Monitoring and Treatment for Coronary"

Artery Diseases: Challenges and Issues

In the international magazine (Sensors) by the publishing house (MDPI), this magazine is considered one of the high-quality international magazines with an impact factor of (3.275) and from the first quarter (Q1) according to the global classification Clarivate Analytics (The former Thomson Reuters)

The research includes a review of medical stents (mesh) that are transplanted inside the coronary artery to expand it to avoid blockage, which causes stroke

The failure rate of transplant of these stents ranges from 10% to 15%, as they do not remain open, which results about 40% of patients who have had stent transplant, requires repeating transplant within one year.

Current stent monitoring techniques were reviewed as well as the practical treatment of stent stenosis not recurring. Problems and challenges associated with current techniques and their typical applications were presented and discussed.

There are brief suggestions made to discuss the progress of the stent transplant, and to disclose the basic requirements necessary to achieve high-quality of stent transplant devices in terms of size and reliability

Some proposals have also been identified to make use of these pillars in other scientific fields
