The study on the impact of AAA wall motion on the hemodynamics based on 4D CT image data.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To analyze the effect of the physiological deformation of the vessel wall on the hemodynamics in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), this paper compared the hemodynamics in AAA based on the moving boundary (MB) simulation and the rigid wall (RW) simulation. Method: Patient-specific models were reconstructed to generate mesh based on four-dimensional computed tomography angiography (4D CT) data. The dynamic mesh technique was used to achieve deformation of the vessel wall, surface mesh and volume mesh of the fluid domain were successively remeshed at each time step. Besides, another rigid wall simulation was performed. Hemodynamics obtained from these two simulations were compared. Results: Flow field and wall shear stress (WSS) distribution are similar. When
