Functional and mechanical properties of novel biomaterials must be carefully evaluated to
guarantee long-term biocompatibility and structural integrity of implantable medical devices …

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

Purpose: To determine the effect of curvature on the magnitude and direction of
displacement forces acting on aortic endografts in 3-dimensional (3D) computational …

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

Conservative medical treatment is commonly first recommended for patients with
uncomplicated Type-B aortic dissection (AD). However, if dissection-related complications …

Here we present a 3D kinetic model of thrombus formation in an endovascular prosthesis
after implantation in an abdominal aorta with an aneurysm. The computational fluid dynamic …

Objective To assess whether the Modified Arch Landing Areas Nomenclature (MALAN),
which merges Ishimaru's map with the Aortic Arch Classification, predicts the magnitude of …

Objective New tools are urgently needed to help with surgical decision-making in type B
aortic dissection (TBAD) that is uncomplicated at the time of initial presentation. This …

Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate the impact of thoracic endovascular aortic repair
(TEVAR) on aortic hemodynamics, focusing on the implications of a bird-beak configuration …

Endografts placed in the aorta for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) may
determine malappositioning to the lesser curvature of the aortic wall, thus resulting in a …
