of blood ow through the artery and tends to increase as the artery becomes smaller in diameter—provided that the volume ow rate and the viscosity are approximately constant.
Atherosclerotic lesions form at specic areas where low and oscillatory endothe­lial shear stress occur. High risk plaques have a large lipid core, thin and inamed brous cap and excessive expansive remodeling [19]. Wall shear stress may rupture the established plaque. Plaque rupture and intraplaque haemorrhage are recognized causes of cardiac events. Computational models from CT scans of carotid bifurca­tions with atherosclerotic plaques showed that stresses in the brous cap and around the plaque shoulders affect plaque rupture risk, with higher stress and plaque rup­ture risk for thinner caps [2023].

7.14 Forces onGraft Systems
The performance of stent grafts was found to be different to open repair with a sutured replacement of the artery because of unsuspected inuences, as mentioned above, that relate to sustained physical forces [1]. The openly-sutured prosthesis binds the wall of the artery to the prosthesis with a transmural suture. The artery may expand above or below the prosthesis. However, at the point of attachment the artery wall is held to the xed diameter by the through-wall suture for as long as the suture holds. Endoluminal grafts (ELG) to date do not bind the adventitia to the prosthesis—they merely attach. The ELG must continue to act to bridge the gap between the normal artery above and below until, if ever, the aneurysm’s cavity shrinks right down. The diameters of the grafts used for the same Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) differ markedly between the open and ELG methods. The com­mon diameters used for tube replacement surgically of infrarenal AAA is 18 or 20mm. The commonest diameter for a stent graft is 26 or 28mm and 30+mm is not uncommon. Why is there such a discrepancy when the surgeon judges the diameter for suitable t? This discrepancy is due to the different types of attachment of an open graft and a stent graft. With the former, the aortic diameter is permanently xed to the diameter of the graft in its pressurised state. The diameter of a crimped vascular graft is, by denition, the minimum internal distance between the crimps in the non-pressurised state. It is increased by approximately 10% when pressur­ized. With the ELG, a residual radial force is required for seal and the oversize allowance must accommodate elasticity and compliance while maintaining the seal between pulsations for the whole of the length of the sealing zone. With a stent graft the long-term function and durability demands are different and greater [1]. Understanding the forces involved is basic to the design and use of new technology, and the weaknesses that lead to aneurysmal disease provide an ongoing challenge because it is progressive [1, 24].
A mistaken clinical impression is that the forces on a thoracic ELG should be greater than those on an abdominal ELG.The ow and diameter of the thoracic aorta are greater and the haemodynamic forces potentially much larger. However,

because the diameter of the graft changes little, if at all, the downward displacement force in the thoracic ELG is small as the resistance in the graft is low—except on the curve of the aortic arch. The resistance of any graft that extends into the iliac vessels is much greater because of the signicant change in diameter and high resistance with the graft acting like a windsock or sea anchor [24]. An aorto-uni-iliac device affords greater resistance than a bifurcated graft and detachment at the neck and migration is a common problem due to high displacement forces. The force applied to the thoracic graft is on the curve and centrifugal forces apply. Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction (Newton’s third law), one must ask where is the reaction? The reaction is to pull the graft out from the top and the bottom almost equally. When stent grafts were rst used in the thorax, unexpected upward migra­tion of the distal end emerged as the problem, especially when there was a signi­cant curve on the graft. For the same reason, this ‘lift out’ may also be seen from the iliac arteries when the graft xation is weak because of ectasia and/or short length of distal attachment. Type 1B endoleak can be more dangerous than Type 1A if this factor is ignored and it is important to have an understanding of the possible forces that may be exerted on a graft.
To illustrate the steps used in determining the forces on a graft system, via ana­lytic equations, we consider the steady ow of blood through a bent pipe (Fig.7.18). In this gure, the proximal inlet entrance is labelled (1) and the distal exit by (2). D1,
A1 and D2, A2 are the diameters and cross-sectional areas, respectively, of the graft
at the points 1 and 2. The blood ow forces (A1 and A2) on the grafted system are at angles of θ1 and θ 2 to the vertical, so can only be calculated when the inlet and outlet force components are in the same plane. Similarly p and v refer to the pres­sures and velocities at these points. Rx and Ry are the x and y components of the restoring force. The external pressure on the graft system is denoted by Pex.

In our analysis, we assume a steady-state, i.e., non-pulsatile, ow. We do this as it gives us a basic idea of how the system is behaving. The rst equation is the steady-state mass conservation equation, which we rewrite in the form:
11
(7.23)
One should note that v1 and v2 are average ow speeds, where the average is taken over the areas of A1 and A2 respectively.

where in these formulae, we have ignored the weight of the graft and the weight of blood in the graft. These terms are easily included into the equations, if required.

where g is the gravitational acceleration, γ=ρg is the weight density of blood, z1 and
z2 are the vertical heights of the proximal and distal ends of the graft, respectively,
and hL is the ‘head loss’ in the pipe, i.e., the amount of pressure or energy that is lost due to frictional viscous effects as the uid travels through the pipe. Head loss is usually given by the equation;
where KL is a constant, the value of which is usually dependent on the shape, length and diameter of the pipe. The coefcients α1 and α2 are kinetic energy correction factors that have different values depending on the type of ow. For example, for uniform ow α=1, turbulent ow has α  1, and laminar ow gives α=2.

So, by using Eqs.7.23 and 7.28, we can express p2 and v2 in terms of quantities at the entrance of the graft. This then allows us to compute the restraining forces on the graft system by then using Eqs.7.24 and 7.25.
7.14.1 Case 1: TheCylindrical Graft
For this case (Fig.7.19), the inlet and the outlet areas are the same, so, by Eq.7.23, the inlet and outlet ow speeds are also equal. The angles θ1 and θ2 are equal and have a value of 90°. The inlet and outlet pressures are not equal due to the frictional, shear interaction between the blood and the graft (i.e., the head loss as given by Eq.7.27). This frictional interaction causes the outlet pressure, p2, to be less than the inlet pressure,P1. This is called the pressure drop.
In considering the restraint forces on the graft, we know there are no vertical forces generated by blood owing through a horizontal graft in this case. The hori­zontal force on the graft is quite small, therefore one can conclude that straight, cylindrical grafts only feel a relatively small drag force in the direction of the ow.
7.14.2 Case 2: TheWindsock Graft
Suppose now we consider a graft in the shape of a wind-sock, such as in Fig.7.20. For this case, the inlet area is now larger than and the outlet area, so, by Eq.7.23, the outlet ow speed is greater than the inlet ow speed as given by;

As in the previous case, the angles θ1 and θ2 are equal and have a value of 90° and the inlet and outlet pressures are not equal due to the frictional, shear inter­action between the blood and the graft. The restraint forces on this graft act to create a windsock which has a much larger drag force than a cylindrical graft.
7.14.3 Case 3: TheCurved Graft (Fig.7.21)
As with the cylindrical graft, the inlet and the outlet areas are the same, so, by Eq.7.23, the inlet and outlet ow speeds are also equal. Due to the symmetry of the situation, the vertical restraint force is zero, the horizontal restraint force however is much greater. A tortuous stent graft which also narrows is subjected to both axial and radial forces.
7.14.4 Case 4: TheSymmetrical Bifurcated Graft
Suppose that we consider a symmetric bifurcated graft, such as shown in Fig.7.22, where the two outlet distal legs of the graft are at an angle α to the horizontal, the two distal ends are equal and gravity is ignored. The proximal end of the graft is labelled by the number 1, the symmetric distal ends by 2 and 3. We also know to satisfy mass conservation that the ow in has to equal the sum of the outows.
By applying Bernoulli’s equation and the mass conservation equations we can calculate that the horizontal restraint force is strongly dependent on inlet area, pres­sure and on the bifurcation angle (especially >15°). However, the blood inlet

velocity or ow rate has negligible effect on the horizontal restraint force [2527]. Naturally, a steady-state assumption is questionable, since pulsatile ow occurs in the human body. However, it was shown experimentally that a steady-state analyti­cal model can be used, with variable pressure and ow rate inputs, to predict forces on a symmetric, bifurcated graft in pulsatile ow with reasonable approximation within design limits [26, 27].
7.15 Conclusion
Understanding the physics of the vascular system in health and disease inuences vascular management. This is a rich eld for research. Further clues to atherogene­sis may lie in the differences in the uid dynamics and stresses applied to the arterial system particular to branch points. Computational modelling will be of increasing importance to our understanding of vascular haemodynamics, the behaviour of aor­tic dissection, the impact of devices on arterial disease and prediction of injury and rupture risk.

Key Learning Points
Pulsatile blood haemodynamics and irregular geometry of arterial wall play an
important role in the formation of vascular disease.
• Due to nonhomogeneous and anisotropic structural behaviour of the blood vessel
and non-Newtonian shear thinning properties of blood ow, the response of the
arterial wall to blood pressure is complex.
• Multidisciplinary numerical modelling (CFD, FEA and FSI methods) can simu-
late pulsatile blood ow in an artery to calculate force transferred from blood
ow into blood vessel and determine the resultant stresses in the arterial layers
(intima, media, and adventitia).
• The accuracy of the numerical model is inuenced by geometries and meshing
resolution, initial and boundary conditions, and uid-solid coupling method.
8.1 Introduction
The arterial tree is a branching tube composed of three nonhomogeneous layers subject to pulsatile blood pressure. Biomechanical analyses of the strain and stress in, and between, the layers can provide a good understanding of the relationships between blood ow and the arterial wall and therefore, of arterial disease.

blood haemodynamics and arterial wall geometry, which is irregular, play an impor­tant role in the formation of vascular disease especially in areas of complex blood ow [1, 2]. Disturbance of blood ow occurs in regions where arteries branch or vary in cross-sectional area [3, 4]. The response of the arterial wall to blood pressure is also complex, due to there being a nonlinear, time-dependent structural response to blood pressure, and nonhomogeneous and anisotropic structural behaviour of the blood vessel wall.
Blood pressure affects the arterial wall, and in turn, the elastic deformation of the arterial wall inuences blood ow. The intima can transduce displacements and pressure from the blood ow to the arterial wall and vice versa. This phenomenon can be analysed using three numerical approaches based on coupling uid ow dynamics with structural analysis:
1. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) uses numerical methods to simulate and
analyse blood ow behaviour.
2. FEA (Finite Element Analysis) uses numerical methods to predict stress and
strain in the arterial wall.
3. FSI (Fluid-Solid Interaction) is modelling the interaction of the elastic blood
vessel with blood ow and pressure.
These three approaches used together can help us understand the behaviour of blood ow and deformation of the arterial wall to investigate arterial disease and the behaviour of prosthetic devices. This chapter explains the modelling techniques for characterizing stress and strain within different layers of the arterial wall and blood ow patterns in an artery.
