Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used for several years to identify mechanical
risk factors associated with aneurysmal evolution and rupture as well as to understand flow …

High-fidelity blood flow modelling is crucial for enhancing our understanding of
cardiovascular disease. Despite significant advances in computational and experimental …

Many factors that are either blood-, wall-, or hemodynamics-borne have been associated
with the initiation, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. The distribution of cerebral …

Functional data are data that can be represented by suitable functions, such as curves
(potentially multi‐dimensional) or surfaces. This paper gives an introduction to some basic …

Hemodynamics are believed to play an important role in the initiation of cerebral aneurysms.
In particular, studies have focused on wall shear stress (WSS), which is a key regulator of …

Unruptured intracranial aneurysms represent a decisional challenge. Treatment risks have
to be balanced against an unknown probability of rupture. A better understanding of the …

Geometric indices defined on intracranial aneurysms have been widely used in rupture risk
assessment and surgical planning. However, most indices employed in clinical settings are …

We propose a regression model for data spatially distributed over general two-dimensional
Riemannian manifolds. This is a generalized additive model with a roughness penalty term …

We discuss in this paper the validation of an open source framework for the solution of
problems arising in hemodynamics. The proposed framework is assessed through …

LifeV is a library for the finite element (FE) solution of partial differential equations in one,
two, and three dimensions. It is written in C++ and designed to run on diverse parallel …
