Investigations into the Potential of using of Open Source CFD to analyze the Differences in Hemodynamic Parameters for Aortic Dissections (Healthy vs. Stanford Type A and B)

The objective of this study was to develop a method to evaluate the effects of an aortic dissection on hemodynamic parameters by conducting a comparison with that of a healthy (non-dissected) aorta. Opensource software will be implemented, no proprietary software/application will be used to ensure accessorily and repeatability, in all the data analysis and processing. CT images of aortic dissection are used for the model geometry segmentation. Boundary conditions from literature are implemented to CFD to analyze the hemodynamic parameters.
