Shear-driven modelling of thrombus formation in type B aortic dissection
Background: Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a dangerous pathological condition with a high mortality rate.TBAD is initiated by an intimal tear that allows blood to flow between the aortic wall layers, causing them to separate.As a result, alongside the original aorta (true lumen), a false lumen (FL) develops.TBAD compromises the whole cardiovasc
