OBJECTIVES To obtain predictive information regarding aortic disease, we evaluated how
blood flow inside the aortic arch was influenced by thoracic aortic aneurysms. In addition, to …

An idealized CFD model and a realistic one were used to investigate the effect of the 3-D
distortion of the aortic arch on the blood flow and its pathophysiological significance with …

OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and aneurysm, are closely
associated with haemodynamic factors that are governed by luminal geometry. The present …

Objective: To better understand the mechanism of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass, it
is necessary to obtain information on the location of turbulence, wall pressure, and flow …

Background and objective Mortality rate increases globally among which one third is due to
diseased blood vessels. Due to late diagnoses of the disease in vessels (severe stenoses) …

A three-dimensional and pulsatile blood flow in a human aortic arch and its three major
branches has been studied numerically for a peak Reynolds number of 2500 and a …

Atheromatous disease in the transverse aortic arch is associated with an increased
incidence of perioperative stroke. In addition, tissue erosion in the aortic arch is caused by …

Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the impact of thoracic endovascular aortic repair
(TEVAR) on aortic hemodynamics, focusing on the implications of a bird-beak configuration …

Aortic dissection is the most common acute catastrophic event affecting the thoracic aorta.
The majority of patients presenting with an uncomplicated type B dissection are treated …

Objective: To demonstrate the potential role of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in
therapeutic decision making for treatment of vascular pathologies of the human aorta …
