Advanced computational techniques, such as Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), to model Ascending thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (ATAA) may revolutionize the way precise medicine is performed. One major issue in modelling ATAA biomechanics is the need for the stress-free configuration which is unavailable from imaging data. The Zero Pressure Geometry (ZPG) and Prestress Tensor (PT) are the two main approaches to over...

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.; Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (ATAA) is a permanent dilatation of the aorta which is usually related to tissue degeneration, hemodynamic conditions, lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors. As the mechanical conditions can become critical in a dilated aorta, a patient-specific computational model can be very useful to assist clinical decisions in the manage...
R. Valente PhD grant 2022.12223.BD. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.; Aortic aneurysm is a cardiovascular disease related to the alteration of the aortic tissue. It is an important cause of death in developed countries, especially for older patients. The diagnosis and treatment of such pathology is performed according to guidelines, which suggest surgical or interventional (stenting) procedures for a...
