Model of a Saccular Aneurysm of the Bifurcation Node of an Artery

Abstract

Modified Kirchhoff transmission conditions in a simple one-dimensional model of a branching artery developed by the authors, allow one to describe an anomaly of its bifurcation node, congenital or acquired due to trauma or disease of a vessel wall. The pathology of the blood flow through the damaged node and the methods of determining the aneurysm parameters from the data measured at the peripheral parts of the circulatory system by solving inverse problems are discussed.
