The formation of an arterial aneurysm is believed to be a multifactorial and predominantly
degenerative process, resulting from a complex interplay between biological processes in …

Despite advances in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), the pathogenesis
of aneurysmal disease remains obscure. Aneurysm screening programmes have …

The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear
stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the …

Pulsatile flow in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models has been examined in order to
understand the hemodynamics that may contribute to growth of an AAA. The model studies …

In this study, a newly developed two-equation transitional model was employed for the
prediction of blood flow patterns in a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) where the growth and …

Flow characteristics in Abdominal Aortic Aneruysm models have been investigated using
Particle Image Velocimetry over a range of Reynolds numbers (from 400 to 1400) and …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in as much as 2–3% of the population, and their rupture
produces a mortality rate of 78–94%(1), causing 15,000 deaths per year in the US alone. As …

In a continuing investigation into the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of abdominal
aortic aneurysms, wall pressure and shear stress measurements are presented for steady …

Physiological flows in rigid diseased arterial flow phantoms emulating an abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) under rest conditions with aorto-iliac bifurcation and iliac stenosis are …

The hydrodynamic stability of cyclic flows inside rigid abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
models was investigated. Rectified sine waveforms were used to simulate aortic flow …
