Abstract: Atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and intimal hyperplasia are major forms of cardiovascular diseases in the United States. Previous studies indicate a significant correlation between hemodynamics, in ...

Abstract: A pulsatile flow in vitro model of the distal end-to-side anastomosis of an arterial bypass graft was used to examine the effects that different flow ratios between the proximal outlet segment ...

Abstract: Flow in distal end-to-side anastomoses of iliofemoral artery bypass grafts was simulated using a steady flow, three-dimensional numerical model. With the proximal artery occluded, anastomotic angles ...

Abstract: The observation of intimal hyperplasia at bypass graft anastomoses has suggested a potential interaction between local hemodynamics and vascular wall response. Wall shear has been particularly ...
