Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Tools using artificial intelligence (AI) offer tremendous potential for computational simulations of the cardiovascular system. The current Special Issue focuses on AI applied to all areas of computational fluid dynamics and fluid structure interaction simulations including model creation, assigning of boundary conditions and implementing rheological properties, mesh generation and optimization, as well as high-performance computing, quantification and visualization of results. Clinical applications spanning the range of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases will be considered.

This study aimed to examine the hemodynamic modifications in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection in relation to the location of re-entry tears using a computational fluid dynamics simulation. The geometry of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection was reconstructed using computed tomography images. Subsequently, 10 virtual models were artificially generated with re-entry tears at various locations. The simulation results indicated that most models with re-entry tears had lower pressure and wall shear stress than those without re-entry tears. The overall pressure distribution of the true lumen was greater than that of the models without re-entry tears when the re-entry tear was placed at the end of the false lumen. Furthermore, the recirculation phenomenon in the false lumen was reduced as the re-entry tear was relocated to the distal region of the aorta. To determine whether and how to perform fenestration surgery in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, these computational results can be used as supplemental indicators. However, further validation in a larger number of patients through additional investigation is necessary. Full article
