Effect of an abdominal aortic aneurysm on wave reflection in the aorta

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Despite extensive attention to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the biomedical engineering community, its effect on aortic hemodynamics and arterial wave reflection has not been addressed before. We used experimental and numerical methods, relying on a r ...

Fluid mechanics of cerebral aneurysms and effects of intracranial stents on cerebral aneurysm flow

This thesis focuses on intracranial aneurysms and particularly on the effect of blood flow in the three major phases that characterize an aneurysm: initiation, growth and rupture. As it stands today, blood flow is the major driver of this disease. The unde ...

Structural strain energy function applied to the ageing of the human aorta

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Martin Zulliger

Stiffening of the aorta with progressing age leads to decrease of aortic compliance and thus to an increase of pulse pressure amplitude. Using a strain energy function (SEF) which takes into account the composition of the arterial wall, we have studied the ...
