Computational fluid dynamics modelling of hemodynamics in aortic aneurysm and dissection: a review.

ABSTRACT: Hemodynamic analysis based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling is expected to improve risk stratification for patients with aortic aneurysms and dissections. However, the parameter settings in CFD simulations involve considerable variability and uncertainty. Additionally, the exact relationship between hemodynamic features and disease progression remains unclear. These challenges limit the clinical application of aortic hemodynamic models. This review presents a detailed overview of the workflow for CFD-based aortic hemodynamic analysis, with a focus on recent advancements in the field. We also conducted a systematic review of 27 studies with large sample sizes (n > 5) that examine the hemodynamic characteristics of aortic aneurysms and dissections. Some studies identified cons
