Development of a Patient-Specific FSI Model of an Arteriovenous Fistula

摘要

The Arteriovenous Fistula is a surgical connection between twoblood vessels, which produces complex haemodynamic conditions.For a patient-specific study, a mode of imaging whichcaptures the 3D geometry is needed. This paper shows the developmentof a new method using ultrasound to obtain the geometryand a subsequent FSI analysis which incorporates a vesselwall and surrounding tissue.
