Mathematical modeling of thrombus formation in idealized models of aortic dissection: Initial findings and potential applications [PDF]
Aortic dissection is a major aortic catastrophe with a high morbidity and mortality risk caused by the formation of a tear in the aortic wall. The development of a second blood filled region defined as the “false lumen” causes highly disturbed flow ...
