background: the interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries. objective: to understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from c...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus occurs during pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate maker of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is assessment of relationship between CIMT and infra-renal abdominal aorta diameter in women with and without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: Th...

abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. its etiology can be congenital or acquired. here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. she had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. magnetic reso...

‎this paper presents an application of partial differential equations(pdes) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in cta datasets. an important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (pdes) and have been exte...

introduction: we did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. methods: four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. results: based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both arteries. in ab...
