Characterization of Ascending Aortic Flow in Patients With Degenerative Aneurysms: A 4D Flow Magnetic Resonance Study

Conclusions Degenerative TAA patients show a decrease in flow vorticity and helicity, which is likely to cause perturbations in physiological flow patterns. The subsequent differing distribution of WSS might be a contributor to vessel wall remodeling and aneurysm formation.
