Sensitivity to entrance conditions of wall shear stress in a curved vessel
This study aims to numerically investigate the impact of entrance velocity distributions on wall shear stress in a simplified curved vessel model. The flow in a single‑curved vessel is simulated with Reynolds numbers adjusted to a Newtonian...

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the flexion point's location of the ilio-femoral arterial axis and its angulation. Materials and methods: Thirty-seven dynamic digital subtraction angiographies were analyzed and were included in the...

A phenomenological and multiscale modeling of arterial growth and remodeling under endofibrosis
High level endurance sports, like biking, may lead to a vascular pathology called endofibrosis. Its symptoms are an arterial wall thickening and a reduction of the artery lumen calibre. Cyclists are impacted in the iliac arteries due to a pinching and...
-
Purpose: To prospectively compare the diagnostic capabilities of computed tomography angiography (CTA) to those of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in endurance athletes with suspicion of arterial endofibrosis. Materials and methods: Forty-five...

Ankle and arm pressure recordings for the diagnosis of exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis
BACKGROUND: Measurement of ankle and brachial blood pressure after maximal exercise is largely used to diagnose exercise‑induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE). AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the different available methods and combination of...

Diagnosis and Management of Iliac Artery Endofibrosis: Results of a Delphi Consensus Study
Objective: Iliac endofibrosis is a rare condition that may result in a reduction of blood flow to the lower extremity in young, otherwise healthy individuals. The data to inform everyday clinical management are weak and therefore a Delphi consensus...

Arterial endofibrosis in endurance athletes: angiographic features and classification
Purpose: To describe the spectrum of angiographic features of arterial endofibrosis and to assess the patterns of associated lesions. Materials and methods: This retrospective study was compliant with the declaration of Helsinki principles. Files of...

Endofibrosis of the iliac arteries: an underestimated problem
Arterial endofibrosis is a recently discovered artery disease that is specific to endurance athletes. Cycling is the sport that has shown the greatest number of cases. The endofibrosis is located most frequently in the external iliac artery, but other...
