Brain damage in dogs immediately following pulsatile and non-pulsatile blood flows in extracorporeal circulation.

Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Simulation after Arterial Stenosis- Steady State and Pulsatile Approaches

Arterial stenosis, for example Atherosclerosis, is one of the most serious forms of arterial disease in the formation of which hemodynamic factors play a significant role. In the present study, a 3-D rigid carotid artery with axisymmetric stenosis with 75% reduction in cross-sectional area is considered. Laminar blood flow is assumed to have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior (generalize...

Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion combined with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest on cerebral circulation: comparison between pulsatile and nonpulsatile blood flows.

PURPOSE In aortic arch surgeries, antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) combined with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) has been recently widely used in institutions as one of the most reliable methods for cerebral protection. However, some studies reported a 3.7-9.3% incidence of postoperative cerebral complications. To perform antegrade SCP more safely, we sought to examine th...

Study of Pulsatile Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Through Abdominal Aorta and Renal Arteries Incorporating Fluid- Structure Interaction

Background: The interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries.Objective: To understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from CT...

Effect of six non-Newtonian viscosity models on hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow in stenosed artery

A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with non-Newtonian models using ADINA. Blood flow was considered laminar, and the arterial wall was considered rigid. Studied stenosis severities were 30, 50, and 70% of the cross-section...
