Computational Analysis of Turbulent Hemodynamics in Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistulas to Determine the Best Anastomotic Angles

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

Background: Hemodynamics has been known to play a major role in the development of intimal hyperplasia leading to arteriovenous fistula failure. The goal of our study is to investigate the influence of different angles of side-to-end radiocephalic anastomo ...

Patient-specific mean pressure drop in the systemic arterial tree, a comparison between 1-D and 3-D models

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, François Lazeyras, Philippe Reymond

One-dimensional models of the systemic arterial tree are useful tools for studying wave propagation phenomena, however, their formulation for frictional losses is approximate and often based on solutions for developed flow in straight non-tapered arterial ...

Validation of a one-dimensional model of the systemic arterial tree

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Philippe Reymond, Fabrice Merenda

A distributed model of the human arterial tree including all main systemic arteries coupled to a heart model is developed. The one-dimensional (1-D) form of the momentum and continuity equations is solved numerically to obtain pressures and flows throughou ...
