False Lumen Flow Patterns and their Relation with Morphological and Biomechanical Characteristics of Chronic Aortic Dissections. Computational Model Compared with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measurements
Fig 7
Effect of tear size distribution along the dissection on flows.
Changes in intraluminal flow patterns with changes in the distribution of total communicating area between the proximal and distal tears. The color scale represents the percentage of total area distributed at the proximal site. Antegrade flows are positive and retrograde flows are negative. TL, True lumen; FL, False lumen.
