Hemodynamic Effect of Unequal Anterior Cerebral Artery Flow
Rates on the Anterior Communicating Artery Bifurcation: A Computational
Fluid Dynamics Study
Figure 4
(a) Velocity field during systole and (b)
early diastole with ACA flow rates set at .
Left ACA impingement site moves rightward along the A2-ACOM adjoining wall as
compared to the case where with bifurcation of flow into the A2-ACA and
ACOM segments. (b) A large vortex is generated on
the right bifurcation site during diastole.
