TL;DRAbstract

The complex flow pattern developed in the physical model of the mB-T graft. The channelling of the flow and the formation of large eddies may yield high shear stress and modify blood properties. The rigid wall model can describe only some flow characteristics observed in vivo. Computer simulation is a very fast and accurate method which permits earlier qualification of cardiac surgeons on how to change cardiac vascular blood flow after operations.
