TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of uncertainties in the Windkessel model parameters on the results of numerical simulations of the flow inside ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms is investigated.

TL;DR: A successful integration of hemodynamic simulations and of MRI data for a patient-specific simulation has been shown and the wall compliance seems to have a significant impact on the numerical predictions; a larger wall elasticity generally improves the agreement with experimental data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss valve pathologies such as valve stenosis, regurgitation, failure and similar, for which usually a valve substitution is performed. But valve substitution may not always be beneficial.

TL;DR: A novel framework for the fluid dynamics analysis of healthy subjects and patients affected by ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm (aTAA) and the proposed integrated approach of RBF morphing technique and CFD simulation for aTAA was demonstrated.

TL;DR: A new framework is presented that allows a segmentation and quantification of OCT images of coronary arteries to define the plaque type and stenosis grading and shows that automated segmentation of the vessel and of the tissue components are possible off-line with a precision that is comparable to manual segmentation for the tissue component.
