Helical flow in the human aorta is possibly a typical example of 'form follows function'in the
vascular system. The helical blood flow may provide guaranties for the inner surface of the …

Recent advances in imaging, modeling, and computing have rapidly expanded our
capabilities to model hemodynamics in the large vessels (heart, arteries, and veins). This …

Here we analyse the influence of assumptions made on boundary conditions (BCs)
extracted from phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) in vivo measured flow …

The hemodynamics within the aorta of five healthy humans were investigated to gain insight
into the complex helical flow patterns that arise from the existence of asymmetries in the …

The main purpose of the study is to verify if helical flow might be a surrogate marker of the
exposure to disturbed shear in normal carotid bifurcations. Based on hemodynamic …

To investigate the effects of both non-Newtonian behavior and the pulsation of blood flow on
the distributions of luminal surface LDL concentration and oxygen flux along the wall of the …

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the imposition of personalized, non-invasively
measured blood flow rates as boundary conditions (BCs) influences image-based …

Here we present a study on the impact of assumptions on image-based hemodynamic
simulations of healthy carotid bifurcations. In particular, we evaluate to which extent …

Background and objective Mortality rate increases globally among which one third is due to
diseased blood vessels. Due to late diagnoses of the disease in vessels (severe stenoses) …

A vascular access (VA) is used to facilitate hemodialysis in patients that suffer from end-
stage renal disease. However, they suffer from high failure rates due to non-maturation and …
