چکیده انگلیسی
Although the incidence of many cardiovascular diseases has declined as medical treatments have improved, the prevalence of aortic dissection (AD) has increased. Compared to type B dissections, type A dissections are more severe, and most patients with type A dissections require surgical treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between the wall shear stress (WSS) on the aortic endothelium and the frequent tearing positions using computational fluid dynamics. Five type A dissection cases and two normal aortas were included in the study. First, the structures of the aortas before the type A dissection were reconstructed on the basis of the original imaging data. Analyses of flow in the reconstructed premorbid structures reveals that the rupture positions in three of the five cases corresponded to the area of maximum elevated WSS. Moreover, the WSS at the junction of the aortic arch and descending aorta was found to be elevated, which is considered to be related to the locally disturbed helical flow. Meanwhile, the highest WSS in the patients with premorbid AD was found to be almost double that of the control group. Due to the noticeable morphological differences between the AD cases and the control group, the WSSs in the premorbid structures without vasodilation in the ascending part were estimated. The computational results revealed that the WSS was lower in the aorta without vasodilation, but the pressure drop in this situation was higher than that with vasodilation in the ascending aorta. Significant differences were seen between the AD cases and the control group in the angles of the side branches of the aortic arch and its bending degree. Dilation of the ascending aorta and alterations in the branching angles may be the key determinants of a high WSS that leads to type A dissection. Greater tortuosity of the aortic arch leads to stronger helical flow through the distal aortic arch, which may be related to tears in this region.
