In the last 40 years, as techniques and materials have improved, the success rate of
vascular prostheses with a diameter greater than 6mm has risen steadily, 5‐year survival …

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 …

There is well-documented evidence that vascular geometry has a major impact in blood flow
dynamics and consequently in the development of vascular diseases, like atherosclerosis …

In this paper we numerically investigate a one‐dimensional model of blood flow in human
arteries using both a discontinuous Galerkin and a Taylor–Galerkin formulation. The …

In this paper, coronary arterial bypass grafting hemodynamics and anastomosis designs are
reviewed. The paper specifically addresses the biomechanical factors for enhancement of …

The pulsatile flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a bifurcation model with a non-planar daughter
branch is investigated numerically by using the Carreau–Yasuda model to take into account …

The ability to construct suitable computational meshes is currently a significant limiting factor
in the development of compact high‐order algorithms in very complex geometries. Compact …

We have developed a computational simulation model for investigating an often postulated
hypothesis connected with aneurysm growth. This hypothesis involves a combination of two …

The non-Newtonian fluid flow in a bifurcation model with a non-planar daughter branch is
investigated by using finite element method to solve the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes …

Early atherosclerotic lesions localize preferentially, in arterial regions exposed to low flow,
oscillatory flow, or both; however, the cellular basis of this observation remains to be …
