Fluid-structure interaction in abdominal aortic aneurysms: effects of asymmetry and wall thickness

TL;DR: Both wall thickness and geometry asymmetry affect the stress exhibited by a virtual AAA, and the results suggest that an asymmetric AAA with regional variations in wall thickness would be exposed to higher mechanical stresses and an increased risk of rupture than a more fusiform AAA with uniform wall thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wall stress and flow dynamics in abdominal aortic aneurysms: finite element analysis vs. fluid-structure interaction.

TL;DR: This investigation assesses the significance of assuming an arbitrary estimated peak fluid pressure inside the aneurysm sac for the evaluation of AAA wall mechanics, as compared with the non-uniform pressure resulting from a coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compliant biomechanics of abdominal aortic aneurysms: A fluid-structure interaction study

TL;DR: This work advances previous FSI studies by including the iliac bifurcation and localized intraluminal thrombus in patient-specific AAA models, demonstrating the importance of modeling blood flow for the assessment of AAA wall mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of asymmetry in abdominal aortic aneurysms under physiologically realistic pulsatile flow conditions.

TL;DR: The hemodynamics of pulsatile blood flow is examined in hypothetical three-dimensional models of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) using the finite element method and the effect of asymmetry in hypothetically shaped AAAs is to increase the maximum wall shear stress at peak flow and to induce the appearance of secondary flows in late diastole.

TL;DR: Pressure can be predicted with consistency by CFD across a wide range of solvers and solution strategies, but this may not hold true for specific flow patterns or derived quantities.
