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…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) pose a significant clinical risk due to their potential for rupture, which is often asymptomatic but can be fatal. Although maximum diameter is commonly used for risk assessment, diameter alone is…

Pulsatile flow through compressed or defective blood vessels is a topic of fundamental importance in hemodynamics, particularly in cardiovascular research. This study examines flow dynamics within a tube with a bipolar cross section,…

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a focal dilation of the aorta that, if not treated, tends to grow and may rupture. A significant unmet need in the assessment of AAA disease, for the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up, is the…

Coronary anatomy governs local haemodynamics associated with atherosclerotic development, progression and ultimately adverse clinical outcomes. However, lack of large sample size studies and methods to link adverse haemodynamics to…

Cerebral aneurysms are pathological dilations of intracranial arteries that can rupture with devastating consequences, including subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, and death. Accumulating evidence indicates that local hemodynamic forces play…

Vascular access, such as arteriovenous grafts, is crucial for patients undergoing haemodialysis as part of kidney replacement therapy. One of the primary causes of arteriovenous graft failure and loss of patency is disordered blood flow, as…

Characterization of medium-range order in amorphous materials and its relation to short-range order is discussed. A new topological approach is presented here to extract a hierarchical structure of amorphous materials, which is robust…

New representations of tree-structured data objects, using ideas from topological data analysis, enable improved statistical analyses of a population of brain artery trees. A number of representations of each data tree arise from…

It is known that the maximum diameter for the rupture-risk assessment of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is a generally good method, but not sufficient. Alternative features obtained with computational modeling may provide additional useful…

Changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics are closely related to the development of aortic regurgitation, a type of valvular heart disease. Metrics derived from blood flows are used to indicate aortic regurgitation onset and evaluate its…

Tumor shape is a key factor that affects tumor growth and metastasis. This paper proposes a topological feature computed by persistent homology to characterize tumor progression from digital pathology and radiology images and examines its…

Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered…

Purpose. It has been reported clinically that rupture or dissections in thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) often occur due to hypertension which may be modelled with sudden increase of peripheral resistance, inducing acute changes of blood…

We propose a deep learning-based technique for detection and quantification of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The condition, which leads to more than 10,000 deaths per year in the United States, is asymptomatic, often detected…

In CT angiography, the accurate segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is difficult due to large anatomical variability, low-contrast vessel boundaries, and the close proximity of organs whose intensities resemble vascular…

Computational fluid dynamics is intensively used to deepen the understanding of aneurysm growth and rupture in the attempt to support physicians during therapy planning. Numerous studies have assumed fully-rigid vessel walls in their…

Bileaflet mechanical heart valves have one of the most successful valve designs for more than 30 years. These valves are often used for aortic valve replacement, where the geometry of the aortic root sinuses may vary due to valvular disease…

In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the segmentation of the inner and outer boundary of thoratic and abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA & AAA) in computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions. The aneurysm segmentation…

Mechanical heart valve replacement is the preferred alternative in younger patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve disease. However, thrombus and pannus formations are common complications associated with bileaflet mechanical heart…
