Abstract

An aorto-coronary bypass graft is frequently adopted for the interventional therapy of the diseased atherosclerotic coronary artery grafting. The bypass artery is often occluded due to restenosis and/or anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia after bypass graft. The optimal aorto-coronary bypass procedure must be studied in order to improve patency rate for the arterial bypass techniques. The objective of this study is to investigate the influences of geometric dimensions of bypass on the hemodynamics around the anastomosis in the stenosed coronary artery with aorto-coronary bypass.
