This paper delves into the critical role of Navier-Stokes equations in biomedical engineering,
with a specific focus on their application in the development of medical devices across the …

Background The combination of medical imaging and computational hemodynamics is a
promising technology to diagnose/prognose coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the …

The behaviour of collapsed or stenotic vessels in the human body can be studied by means
of simplified geometries like a collapsible tube. The objective of this work is to determine the …

BACKGROUND: Plaque composition and wall shear stress (WSS) magnitude act as well-
established players in coronary plaque progression. However, WSS magnitude per se does …

The present study establishes a link between blood flow energy transformations in coronary
atherosclerotic lesions and clinical outcomes. The predictive capacity for future myocardial …

Background and aims Coronary hemodynamics impact coronary plaque progression and
destabilization. The aim of the present study was to establish the association between focal …

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a coronary artery disease affecting 50% of heart
transplant (HTx) recipients, and it is the major cause of graft loss. CAV is driven by the …

Background Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is emerging as an effective technology
able to improve procedural outcomes and enhance clinical decision-making in patients with …

The solution of computational fluid dynamics problems is one of the most computationally
hard tasks, especially in the case of complex geometries and turbulent flow regimes. We …

Purpose Numerical models that simulate the behaviors of the coronary arteries have been
greatly improved by the addition of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) methods. Although …
