We report computational results of blood flow through a model of the human aortic arch and a vessel of actual diameter and length. On the top of the aortic arch the branching of the %%three arteries are included: the subclavian and jugular.…
- Modeling Human cardiovascular system is always an important issue. One of the most effective methods is using lumped model to reach to a complete model of human cardiovascular system. Such modeling with advanced considerations is used in…
Arterial tissue consists of multiple structurally important constituents that have individual material properties and associated stress-free configurations that evolve over time. This gives rise to residual stresses contributing to the…
Automatic labelling of anatomical structures, such as coronary arteries, is critical for diagnosis, yet existing (non-deep learning) methods are limited by a reliance on prior topological knowledge of the expected tree-like structures. As…
Objective: Use of a vascular punch to produce circular heel and toe arteriotomies for femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty is a novel technique. This study investigated the plausibility of this approach and the mechanical…
Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics are applied to simulate pulsatile blood flow in human vessels and in the aortic arch. The non-Newtonian behaviour of the human blood is investigated in simple vessels of actual size. A detailed…
Vascular calcification is implicated as an important factor in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including heart attack and stroke. A controversy remains over how to integrate the diverse forms of vascular calcification into…
In the present work, complex irregular bones and joints of the complete human arm were developed in a computer-aided design environment. Finite element analysis of an actual human arm was done to identify the distribution of stress using…
We present a fully automatic, graph-based technique for extracting the retinal vascular topology -- that is, how different vessels are connected to each other -- given a single color fundus image. Determining this connectivity is very…
Numerical predictions of blood flow and hemodynamic properties through a stenotic and aneurysmal rigid artery are studied in the presence of blood clot at constricted area. Finite element method has been used to solve the steady partial…
The use of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery, especially in diseased arteries, is a novel procedure. We are incorporating nanoparticles into blood vessels using a catheter, which could potentially deliver drugs precisely to affected…
The mechanical integrity of arteries is of prime importance, for a proper oxygen and nutrients delivery to all organs. To optimize their mechanical properties, healthy arteries exhibit a complex hierarchical microstructure which ensures a…
In this paper, mathematical models for cuff-tissue-artery system are developed and simplified into an axisymmetric problem in space. It is nonlinear properties of cuff and artery wall that make it difficult to solve elastic equations…

High-resolution and anatomically realistic computer models of biological soft tissues play a significant role in the understanding of the function of cardiovascular components in health and disease. However, the computational effort to…
The arterial system dynamically loads the heart through changes in arterial compliance. The pressure-volume relation of arteries is known to be nonlinear, but arterial compliance is often modeled as a constant value, due to ease of…
We performed numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries with a variable stiffness and cross-section at rest using a finite volume method coupled with a hydrostatic reconstruction of the variables at the interface of each mesh cell. The…
The goal is to develop a novel approach for cardiac disease prediction and diagnosis using intelligent agents. Initially the symptoms are preprocessed using filter and wrapper based agents. The filter removes the missing or irrelevant…
