Abstract 3D-printed models fabricated from CT, MRI, or echocardiography data provide the
advantage of haptic feedback, direct manipulation, and enhanced understanding of …

The advent of three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology has enabled the creation of a
tangible and complex 3D object that goes beyond a simple 3D-shaded visualization on a flat …

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is commonly applied in type-B aortic
dissection. For patients with dissection affects descending aorta and extends downward to …

Purpose To assess the variability of peak flow, mean velocity, stroke volume, and wall shear
stress measurements derived from 3D cine phase contrast (4D flow) sequences under …

Purpose Aortic dissection (AD) is a catastrophic disease with complex hemodynamic
conditions, however, understandings regarding its perfusion characteristics were not …

Understanding of the hemodynamics of Type B aortic dissection may improve outcomes by
informing upon patient selection, device design, and deployment strategies. This project …

Background Although thoracic endovascular aortic repair is regularly used to treat chronic
DeBakey type IIIb aneurysms, persistent retrograde flow into the false lumen through distal …

Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening aortopathy with high mortality. To mimic
spontaneous AD, investigate the pathogenesis of AD and develop novel therapeutic targets …

Objectives 2D real-time (RT) phase-contrast (PC) MRI is a promising alternative to
conventional PC MRI, which overcomes problems due to irregular heartbeats or poor …

One of the highest mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases is aortic dissections with
