摘要:
Objective: In order to improve the local hemodynamics of coronary artery bypass graft and reduce the incidence of restenosis, a double-bypass-graft design was proposed to alleviate artery stenosis. Methods: Based on finite element method, the hemodynamics of the conventional bypass graft model and the double-bypass-graft model was adopted for numerical simulation. The distributions of hemodynamics such as flow field and wall shear stress in the vicinity of anastomosis were calculated. Results: This new design provided better hemodynamics near the main anastomosis region, eliminated the vortex and flow stagnation, and increased the wall shear stress at the artery floor. The axial length of vortex near the assistant bypass graft by this new design was only 3 mm, which was shorter than that of 4.5 mm in the conventional design. Nearly 36% of the total blood was directed into the assistant bypass graft. Conclusions: The new design could help to reduce the incidence of intimal hyperplasia.
