Exploring the Relationship between Morphological Parameters and Hemodynamic Characteristics in Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms Using Fluid-Structure Interaction with Patient-specific Models
DownloadFall 2023
Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) is an abnormal bulge in the ascending part of the aorta. It is associated with the risk of dissection and rupture and has been known as the "silent killer". When dissection or rupture, the outcome is usually severe and associated with high mortality. To...
