Background The analysis of the correlation between blood flow and aortic pathology through
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) shows promise in predicting disease progression, the …

Objectives The complexity of aortic disease is not fully exposed by aortic dimensions alone,
and morbidity or mortality can occur before intervention thresholds are met. Patient-specific …

Background Hemodynamic information including peak systolic pressure (PSP) and peak
systolic velocity (PSV) carry an important role in evaluation and diagnosis of congenital …

Background: Recent studies suggest that blood flow in main arteries is intrinsically
disturbed, even under healthy conditions. Despite this, many computational fluid dynamics …

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

Background Computational modeling of cardiovascular flow is a growing and useful field,
but such simulations usually require the researcher to guess the flow's inlet and outlet …

Purpose of this computational study is to examine the hemodynamic parameters of velocity
fields and shear stress in the thoracic aorta with and without aneurysm, based on an …

Pressure drop associated with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can be successfully treated
surgically or by stent placement. However, a decreased life expectancy associated with …

Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models permit analysis of complex intra-
aortic hemodynamics in patients with aortic dissection (AD), where vessel morphology and …

It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the
walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular …
