A Numerical Study of Blood Flow in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Side-to-Side Anastomoses
Abstract
Purpose: When sequential grafts are used in multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting, the graft first supplies blood to one or more coronary arteries via a side-to-side anastomosis. We studied hemodynamics in idealized models of “parallel” and “diamond” side-to-side anastomoses, identifying features that might promote restenosis. Methods: Blood flow was computed in three representative anastomosis configurations: parallel side-to-side, …
