Abstract:
Motivated by the physiological phenomena of collapse and flow limitation for a serial pulmonary artery stenosis, we investigated the three-dimensional influence of spatial configuration on the wall motion and hemodynamic. Our numerical study focused on the effect of two geometrical parameters: the relative distance and the angular orientation between the two stenoses. The collapse of a compliant arterial stenosis may cause flow choking, which would limit the flow reserve to major vital vascular beds such as the lungs, potentially leading to a lethal ventilation-perfusion mismatch.

Abstract:
Proper distribution of blood flow in the microcirculation is necessary to match changing oxygen demands in various tissues. How this coordination of perfusion and consumption occurs in heterogeneous microvascular networks remains incompletely understood. Theoretical models are powerful tools that can help bridge this knowledge gap by simulating a range of conditions difficult to obtain experimentally. Here, an algorithm is first developed to estimate blood flow rates in large microvascular networks. Then, a theoretical model is presented for metabolic blood flow regulation in a realistic h

The brain accounts for around 2 % of human adult bodyweight but consumes 20 % of the resting oxygen available to the whole body. The brain is dependent on a constant supply of oxygen to tissue, transported from the heart via the vasculature and carried in blood. An interruption to flow can lead to ischaemia (a reduced oxygen supply) and prolonged interruption may result in tissue death, and permanent brain damage. The cerebral vasculature consists of many, densely packed, micro-vessels with a very large total surface area. Oxygen dissolved in blood enters tissue by passive diffusion through th

Cerebrovascular diseases are by far the largest causes of death in the UK, as well as one of the leading causes of adult disability. The brain's healthy function depends on a steady supply of oxygen, delivered through the microvasculature. Cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia, can interrupt the transport of blood (and hence oxygen) rapidly, or over a prolonged period of time. An interruption in flow can lead to ischaemia, with prolonged interruptions leading to tissue death and eventual brain damage.

Arteries respond to changes in global mechanical parameters (pressure, flow rate, and longitudinal stretching) by remodeling to restore local parameters (circumferential stress, shear stress, and axial strain) to baseline levels. Because a change in a single global parameter results in changes of multiple local parameters, the effects of individual local parameters on remodeling remain unknown. This study uses a novel approach to study remodeling in organ culture based on independent control of local mechanical parameters. The approach is illustrated by studying the effects of circumferenti

In normal tissues, blood supply is closely matched to tissue demand for wide ranges of oxygen demand and arterial pressure. This suggests that multiple mechanisms regulate blood flow. Theoretical models can be used to analyze these interacting mechanisms. One proposed mechanism for metabolic flow regulation involves the saturation-dependent release of ATP by red blood cells, which triggers an upstream conducted response signal and arteriolar vasodilation. To analyze this mechanism, oxygen and ATP levels are calculated along a flow pathway of seven representative segments, including two vas
