Abstract:The descending aortic aneurysm is one of the most catastrophic cardiovascular emergencies resulting in high mortality worldwide. Clinical observations have pointed out that stent implantation in the sick aorta should probably allow stabilization of the hemodynamic state of the patient's aorta. To better understand the hemodynamic impact of a stent-treated aneurysm, numerical simulations are used to evaluate hemodynamic parameters. These latter including flow profile, velocity distribution, aortic wall pressure… Show more
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.
