This review paper addresses the so called geometric multiscale approach for the numerical
simulation of blood flow problems, from its origin (that we can collocate in the second half …

We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific
modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue …

The development and clinical use of patient-specific models of the heart is now a feasible
goal. Models have the potential to aid in diagnosis and support decision-making in clinical …

OBJECTIVES: In the decision for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), the
maximum diameter is the main factor. Several studies have concluded that the diameter may …

In the modelling process of cardiovascular diseases, one often comes across the numerical
simulation of the blood vessel wall. When the vessel geometry is patient-specific and is …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture represents a major cardiovascular risk, combining
complex vascular mechanisms weakening the abdominal artery wall coupled with …

A rupture risk assessment is critical to the clinical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) patients. The biomechanical AAA rupture risk assessment quantitatively integrates …

The current clinical management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is based to a
great extent on measuring the aneurysm maximum diameter to decide when timely …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease, the local enlargement of the infrarenal aorta, is a
serious condition that causes many deaths, especially in men exceeding 65 years of age …

Elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is warranted when the risk of rupture
exceeds that of surgery, and is mostly based on the AAA size as a crude rupture predictor. A …
