The patient-specific hemodynamics of a subject affected by coarctation of the aorta and treated by endovascular stenting was investigated employing CFD. Particular attention was paid to the post-op scenario, whereby the inclusion of the stent within the vessel represented a demanding task. Pre- and post-stenting configurations were compared by evaluating hemodynamic indices such as WSS, OSI and LNH.
È stata effettuata un’analisi paziente-specifica dell’emodinamica in un soggetto affetto da coartazione dell’aorta, a cui è stato successivamente impiantato uno stent per via endovascolare. In particolare, il fulcro del lavoro riguarda la generazione del modello post-operatorio, in cui è stato impegnativo riprodurre la presenza dello stent all’interno del vaso. Le configurazioni pre- e post-stenting sono state confrontate in termini di indici emodinamici quali WSS, OSI ed LNH.

Abstract
The patient-specific hemodynamics of a subject affected by coarctation of the aorta and treated by endovascular stenting was investigated employing CFD. Particular attention was paid to the post-op scenario, whereby the inclusion of the stent within the vessel represented a demanding task. Pre- and post-stenting configurations were compared by evaluating hemodynamic indices such as WSS, OSI and LNH.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
