Outflow boundary conditions for 3D simulations of non-periodic blood flow and pressure fields in deformable arteries [PDF]
, 2010 The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled multidomain method to couple analytical models of the downstream domains with 3D ...

Carotid and Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The role of plasma cholesterol in impairing arterial function and elasticity remains unclear. We evaluated arterial stiffness, measured locally in the common carotid artery by high-resolution echo-tracking, and aortic stiffness, using carotid-femoral ...

Bilateral non-bifurcating carotid arteries in a patient with recurrent cerebrovascular events
Neurological Research and Practice, 2021 Introduction Among congenital anomalies of the carotid artery circulation, the presence of a non-bifurcating carotid artery is extremely rare. Relevant cases with unilateral non-bifurcating carotid artery have scarcely been described in the literature ...

Reference luminal diameters of the carotid arteries among healthy Nigerian adults
Folia Morphologica, 2022 BACKGROUND: The carotid arteries serve as major blood supply to the head and neck region of the body. Understanding their structure and function in the pathogenesis of stroke and in interventional neuroradiology due to luminal stenosis, atherosclerosis ...
