Abstract: The development of intimal hyperplasia at the distal anastomosis is the major cause of long-term bypass graft failure. To evaluate the suspected role of hemodynamic factors in the pathogenesis ...

Abstract: The quantification of particle (platelet) residence times in arterial geometries is relevant to the pathogenesis of several arterial diseases. In this manuscript, the concept of “volumetric residence ...

Abstract: The current trend in computational hemodynamics is to employ realistic models derived from ex vivo or in vivo imaging. Such studies typically produce a series of images from which the lumen ...

Abstract: The study of pulsatile flow in stenosed vessels is of particular importance because of its significance in relation to blood flow in human pathophysiology. To date, however, there have been ...

Abstract: Purpose: Recently, some numerical and experimental studies of blood flow in large arteries have attempted to accurately replicate in vivo arterial geometries, while others have utilized simplified ...

Abstract: In order to understand the possible role that hemodynamic factors may play in the pathogenesis of distal anastomotic intimal hyperplasia, we carried out numerical simulations of the flow field ...
