Abstract
⺠We analyze the effect that anastomosis has on blood flow. ⺠Details on how anastomosis affects flow are strongly dependent on network geometry. ⺠Flow in a network with anastomosis is determined by its local structure. ⺠Our model is able to interpret the anastomotic effect for tree-like in vivo vasculature networks. ⺠Results are robust to the consideration of the myogenic effect.
