Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Chronic Aortic Dissection Hemodynamics Versus Normal Aorta

Conclusions:
The FL dilatation at FU favorably reduced TP. In contrast, unfavorable increase in pressure gradient between ascending and DAo was observed with higher values than in the healthy aorta. Maximum WSS was reduced at the site of largest dilation compared to healthy aorta.
