The results of numerical simulation of pulsating blood flow in a three-dimensional model of the femoral artery-graft junction are presented. The study is focused on the influence of the flow rates ratio in two branches of the branching flow on the location and size of the recirculation flow areas in the shunt and in the common femoral artery, with an emphasis on the analysis of the anastomotic zone. Areas with small values of the cycle-averaged shear stresses and increased values of the shear stress oscillation index, potentially dangerous from the point of view of the neointima growth in the shunt, are identified.
