Carotid artery blood flow is studied to compare models with rigid and elastic walls.
Considering a patient-specific geometry and transient boundary conditions. In the case of …

This study investigated the effects of different patterns of coronary artery tortuosity (CAT) on
the stress concentration of the plaques and the blood flow pattern inside an atherosclerotic …

Tortuous aneurysmal arteries are often associated with a higher risk of rupture but the
mechanism remains unclear. The goal of this study was to analyze the buckling and post …

Blood is a complex biological fluid and has elements in its composition, such as
erythrocytes, which give it a non-Newtonian behavior. Typically, when carotid blood flow is …

Certain systems relevant to circulatory disease have walls which are neither rigid nor static,
for example, the coronary arteries, the carotid artery and the heart chambers. In vitro …

The carotid artery is one of the most favorable locations for atherosclerotic plaque
accumulation due to its unique geometry. It predominantly occurs at the outer wall of the …

Stenosis can disrupt the normal pattern of blood flow and make the artery more susceptible
to buckling which may cause arterial tortuosity. Although the stability simulations of the …

Tortuous vessels are often observed in vivo and could hinder or even disrupt blood flow to
distal organs. Besides genetic and biological factors, the in vivo mechanical loading seems …

When blood flows in vessel curved portion, the presence of curvature generates a
centrifugal force that acts in the same manner as a compressive load. Therefore, blood flow …

Testicular artery torsion (twisting) is one such severe vascular condition that leads spermatic
cord injury. In this study, we investigate the recovery response of a torsioned ram testicular …
