Large aortic aneurysm and acute and chronic aortic dissection are pathologies of the aorta
requiring surgery. Recent advances in medical intervention have improved patient …

Credible computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of aortic dissection are challenging,
because the defining parallel flow channels—the true and the false lumen—are separated …

Although hundreds of samples obtained from ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA)
of patients undergoing elective surgical repair have already been characterized …

There is a growing need for dedicated endovascular devices to treat pathologies affecting
the venous system. However, because of a lack of research into venous diseases and …

The impact of outflow boundary conditions on the results of numerical simulations of the flow
inside ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms is investigated. The adopted outflow conditions …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have gained much attention in biomedical fields due to
their good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Researches have validated the feasibility of …

Numerical simulations of the blood flow inside a patient-specific thoracic aorta in presence
of an aneurysm are considered. We focus on the impact on the numerical predictions of the …

Purpose Intraluminal thrombus (ILTs) are found in most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)
of clinically relevant size; however, the role of ILTs in AAA ruptures remains unclear. This …

Background Previous studies have not examined the participation of intimal, medial, and
adventitial layers in providing mechanical strength to the ascending thoracic aortic …

Background Guidelines for sinus of Valsalva (SOV)-thoracic aortic aneurysms in Marfan
syndrome recommend size-based criteria for elective surgical repair. Biomechanics may …
