  The Double-Barreled cannon stent-graft Aortic Repair (DoBAR) strategy is a specific method for fixing extremely dilated aortic landing-zone issue. Its clinical validation and application may be examined using computational schemes. Three assumed conditions: the single stent-graft, the longitudinal direction (LD)-type DoBAR, and the sagittal direction (SD)-type DoBAR models were examined by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Two specific points in one cardiac cycle were plotted. The non-dimensional frequency parameters were calculated to evaluate the flow field stabilities. The primary axial flow skewed from inner to outer aortic portion after passing through the aortic arch at peak forward-flow time (PFFT) and formed the swing signature at peak reverse-flow time (PRFT). The secondary flow developed as counter-rotating vortices of this model. In LD-type, the septum of ante.. View More»
