An integrated fluid-chemical model towards modeling the formation of intra-luminal thrombus in abdominal aortic aneurysms

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are frequently characterized by the presenceof an Intra-Luminal Thrombus (ILT) known to influence biochemically and biomechanicallytheir evolution. ILT progression mechanism is still unclear and little is known regardingthe impact on this mechanism of the chemical s...
