A marked interest has recently emerged regarding the analysis of the wall shear stress
(WSS) vector field topological skeleton in cardiovascular flows. Based on dynamical system …

The cerebrovascular system is an intricate structure that carries blood to and from the brain.
Though the overall structures remain relatively the same from person to person, variations of …

Aortic valve calcification is an important cardiovascular disorder that deteriorates the
accurate functioning of the valve leaflets. The increasing stiffness due to the calcification …

Flow diverter stents (FDS) are increasingly used for the treatment of complex intracranial
aneurysms such as fusiform, giant, or wide-neck aneurysms. The primary goal of these …

Background Flow diverter stents (FDSs) are widely used to treat aneurysms in the clinic.
However, even the same flow diverter (FD) use on different patients' aneurysm sites can …

Background Giant aneurysms at carotid arteries are typically treated with flow diverter (FD)
stents in the clinic. Although the goal of an FD stent is to direct most of the blood flow into the …

The effective metal surface area (EMSA) of flow diversions plays an essential role in the
occlusion mechanism inside the aneurysm since the value of EMSA determines the amount …

The goal of this study was to test if CFD‐based virtual angiograms could be used to
automatically discriminate between intracranial aneurysms (IAs) with and without flow …

Background: To investigate the safety and efficacy of endovascular embolization of very tiny
(≤ 2 mm) intracranial aneurysms with single coil and summarize experience. Methods: A …

This experimental study aims to explore the Lagrangian nature of fluid transport downstream
of a bileaflet mechanical aortic valve under different malfunction scenarios that might be …
