The amalgamation of engineering and medical disciplines has allowed computer simulation to be used to solve numerical equations related to fluid flow. Since CFD’s inception in the 1950s by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, several studies have attempted to employ CFD techniques to analyse blood flow in different aortic pathologies including aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections and differences before and after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).
