Atherosclerotic plaques are found at distinct locations in the arterial system, despite the
exposure to systemic risk factors of the entire vascular tree. From the study of arterial …

Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of cardiovascular events, namely, myocardium
infarction and cerebral stroke, responsible for a great number of deaths every year …

Globally, cardiovascular diseases are seen as one of the largest economic burdens on
society and the single largest cause of death, with atherosclerosis the leading cause of …

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a numerical simulation of the stroke patient's
cerebral arteries and investigate the flow parameters due to the presence of stenosis. The …

Bifurcating vessel is a characteristic feature of biological systems such as arteries in the
cardiovascular system and pulmonary airways. In cardiovascular system, the bifurcations …

This study was to investigate the hemodynamic effect of simulated plaques in left coronary
artery models, which were generated from a sample patient's data. Plaques were simulated …

Microbots have been considered powerful tools in minimally invasive medicine. In the last
few years, the topic has been highly studied by researchers across the globe to further …

Local hemodynamics has been identified as one main determinant in the onset and
progression of atherosclerotic lesions at coronary bifurcations. Starting from the observation …

This book discusses geometric and mathematical models that can be used to study fluid and
structural mechanics in the cardiovascular system. Where traditional research …

Coronary bifurcations have complex flow patterns including secondary flow zones and
helical flow, which directly affect pathophysiological mechanisms such as the development …
