The different dyes in industries and microbial pathogenic issues have raised serious concerns in water bodies about the environment and human health. Efficiently treatment of contaminated water is a major...
Sequential grafting technique is adopted when one or more of the coronary arteries are blocked or severely narrowed. The objective of this study was to understand the influence of the anastomosis configuration on the blood flow in the three-dimensional coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) model. The finite volume technique was employed to model the 3-D blood flow pattern to determine the velocity and WSS distributions. This study presents the flow-field distributions of the velocity and WSS at two instances of the cardiac cycle, one during start of ejection (t=0.0 s) and the other during early diastole (t=0.32 s). Our results reveal that maximum wall shear stress was observed at the toe of the end-to side anastomosis. The smooth flow patterns observed in the side-to-side anastomosis region resulted in an almost uniform variation of WSS. The present work indicates that a side-to-side anastomosis would result in a better graft patency than an end-to-side anastomosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
