“…The flow velocity was 16 ± 4 cm/s, which is a typical IJV velocity in humans in the supine body position [ 33 ]. The density of the valve leaflets was set at 1200 kg m −3 [ 34 ]. To simulate fluctuations of flow velocity in the modeled vein in a living subject resulting from the pulsation of the adjacent carotid artery and respiratory movements, the sine function of velocity at the inlet (Boundary 1) of the model was applied ( Figure 2 A).…”

The clinical relevance of nozzle-like strictures in upper parts of the internal jugular veins remains unclear. This study was aimed at understanding flow disturbances caused by such stenoses. Computational fluid dynamics software, COMSOL Multiphysics, was used. Two-dimensional computational domain involved stenosis at the beginning of modeled veins, and a flexible valve downstream. The material of the venous valve was considered to be hyperelastic. In the vein models with symmetric 2-leaflets valve without upstream stenosis or with minor 30% stenosis, the flow was undisturbed. In the case of major 60% and 75% upstream stenosis, centerline velocity was positioned asymmetrically, and areas of reverse flow and flow separation developed. In the 2-leaflet models with major stenosis, vortices evoking flow asymmetry were present for the entire course of the model, while the valve leaflets were distorted by asymmetric flow. Our computational fluid dynamics modeling suggests that an impaired outflow from the brain through the internal jugular veins is likely to be primarily caused by pathological strictures in their upper parts. In addition, the jugular valve pathology can be exacerbated by strictures located in the upper segments of these veins.

“…In some peripheral vein simulations, simplified vein models with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm are often used. [14][15][16] However, these studies focused on the condition of blood flow patency. To obtain the filling diameter of the best puncture site in the state of hemostasis, this study randomly selected 28 subjects and measured the full filling diameter of the best puncture site of the middle elbow vein in the state of hemostasis by using an ultrasound probe.…”

To explore the feasibility of using micro-bolus pulse injection method to reduce the dilution effect of pipeline on high concentration injection, and to understand low liquid volume bolus injection based on low injection speed. Using a programmable pulse injection pump, a 25-cm – long pipeline containing water-soluble fluorescent agent was flushed using different volumes of bolus, and the time spent for the complete disappearance of the fluorescent agent was recorded to evaluate the flushing efficiency. The finite element simulation of 2-phase flow was carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, and the difference of shear rate and pressure distribution in the vein of pulse injection and direct injection of bolus under hemostasis was compared and simulated. Micro-bolus pulse flushing has advantages in completing perfusion imaging applications, such as small volume imaging agent injection. Compared with non-pulse injection, the effective flushing volume decreases by 49.7%, the average injection speed decreases by 56%, and the maintenance time of high shear rate is shorter when using micro-bolus pulse injection. The impact of micro-bolus pulse injection on the vein can achieve the same or even lower negative effects as other injection methods after increasing the hemostatic distance to 100 mm. In the case of bolus injection requiring high concentration and small volume, such as for radiopharmaceutical dynamic imaging, the application of micro-bolus pulse injection is an effective way to overcome the dilution phenomenon of the imaging agent in the pipeline. During hemostasis, the micro-bolus pulse injection needs to control a longer hemostasis distance to reduce the potential impact on peripheral veins.
