This study introduces an implementation of image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD), by exemplification with 4 patients treated with an endograft for occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery (SFA). The potential of personalized CFD for predicting endograft thrombosis is investigated.Materials and Methods:Four patients treated with endografts for an occluded SFA were retrospectively included. CFD simulations, based on CTA and duplex ultrasound, were compared for patients with and without endograft thrombosis to investigate potential flow-related causes of endograft thrombosis. Time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) was computed, which highlights areas of prolonged residence times of coagulation factors in the graft.Results:CFD simulations demonstrated normal TAWSS (>0.4 Pa) in the SFA for cases 1 and 2, but low levels of TAWSS (<0.4 Pa) in cases 3 and 4, respectively. Primary patency was achieved in cases 1 and 2 for over 2 year follow-up. Cases 3 and 4 were complicated by recurrent endograft thrombosis.Conclusion:The presence of a low TAWSS was associated with recurrent endograft thrombosis in subjects with otherwise normal anatomic and ultrasound assessment and a good distal run-off. } }
