摘要:
In order to clarify the influence of graft-host diameter ratios on the flow patterns and the wall shear stress in coronary artery bypass graft (CABC), three CABG models with the graft diameter smaller than, equal to and larger than that of the coronary artery, were constructed. The physiologically pulsatile blood flows in these three models were simulated with finite element method. The temporal-spatial distributions of flow patterns, wall shear stresses, and wall shear stress based parameters were depicted and compared. The results showed that the large model features with relatively large positive longitudinal velocity, uniform and large wall shear stresses, and small wall shear stress gradients. The hemodynamics in the large model was improved to some extent. Larger or isodiametric graft is favorable in the CABG surgical application. However, no distinct difference of wall shear stress based temporal parameters was found between all the three models. Alternative anastomotic designs are necessary for the improvement of CABG patency rates.
