Kasabach-Merritt syndrome arising from an Enteroatmospheric Fistula [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a rare, life-threatening condition that is characterized by profound thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated partial thromboplastin time, and may also be associated with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. It is well established that this phenomenon is notably associated with the vascular tumors kaposiform ...

Computational analysis for competition flows in arteriovenous fistulas based on non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Introduction: Characteristics of hemodynamics strongly affect the patency of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients. Because of pressure balance changes among arteries after AVF construction, regurgitating flow occurs in some patients.

Formation of Pancreatoduodenal Fistula in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas Decreased the Frequency of Recurrent Pancreatitis [PDF]
, 2019 Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are characterized by proliferation of mucin-secreting cells in the main pancreatic duct (PD) or its branches. The secreted thick mucin usually leads to PD obstruction and dilation.

Fluid-structure interaction modelling and stabilisation of a patient-specific arteriovenous access fistula [PDF]
, 2017 A patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of a phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (PC-MRA) imaged arteriovenous fistula is presented. The numerical model is developed and simulated using a commercial multiphysics simulation package where a semi-implicit FSI coupling scheme combines a finite volume method blood flow model and

High fidelity blood flow in a patient-specific arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An arteriovenous fistula, created by artificially connecting segments of a patient's vasculature, is the preferred way to gain access to the bloodstream for kidney dialysis. The increasing power and availability of supercomputing infrastructure means that it is becoming more realistic to use simulations to help identify the best type and location of a ...
