Intimal Hyperplasia and Wall Shear in Arterial Bypass Graft Distal Anastomoses: An In Vivo Model Study

Abstract: The observation of intimal hyperplasia at bypass graft anastomoses has suggested a potential interaction between local hemodynamics and vascular wall response. Wall shear has been particularly implicated because of its known effects upon the endothelium of normal vessels and, thus, was examined as to its possible role in the development of intimal hyperplasia in arterial bypass graft distal anastomoses. Tapered (4-7 mm I.D.) e-PTFE synthetic grafts 6 cm long were placed as bilateral carotid artery bypasses in … Show more

“…In Figure 13 we give the values of the J 5 functional for the four different cases: ω = 0, 1, 2, 3. The optimal angles recovered are in the range [30][31][32][33][34][35] • depending on the residual flow, and again the largest values of J 5 (v) were observed for the case ω = 0. Moreover, the optimal angles obtained by using a 2D model are very similar to those computed by exploiting a full 3D flow simulation (see also Tab.…”

“…We consider throughout this section a simplified 2D bypass configuration Ω = (0, 5) × (0, 1), where Γ in = {(x, y) : x = 0, y ∈ (0, 1)} and Γ bc = {(x, y) : x ∈ (1, 3/2), y = 1}, respectively, thus considering the graft-tohost diameter ratio to be fixed at its (near-)optimal value 1.5 as discussed in [32].…”

“…The mechanobiological response of the tissue to flow disturbances is a complex phenomena to model mathematically. Clinical evidence indicates that increased plaque growth is observed in regions of abnormally low or oscillating WSS [31,33]. In conjuction the tissue undergoes a maladaptive process, resulting in a marked change in the mechanical properties of the arterial wall.…”
