Abstract
We studied the relationship between the blood flow and the atherosclerosis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Atherosclerosis tends to grow at the bifurcation of abdominal aorta, particularly at the lateral side walls of the common iliac arteries. In general, the bifurcation of blood vessels has a sharp edge, and therefore the minute deformation and movement of the bifurcation are thought to have a large effect on the blood flow. In order to study the blood flow at the bifurcation using realistic CFD model, we developed a modeling system using micrometer thick slicing to reconstruct the 3-dimensional blood vessel configuration for CFD analysis.
