- Abstract
- Numerical analysis was performed for the effect of the venous anastomosis angle in a forearm arteriovenous graft for hemodialysis using a multiphase blood model. The geometry of the blood vessel was generated based on the patient-computed tomography data. The anastomosis angles were set at 15 degrees, 30 degrees, and 45 degrees. The hematocrit was set at 34%, 45%, and 58%. The larger anastomosis angle, high wall shear stress area >11 Pa, increases to the side of the vein wall away from the anastomosis site. Further, the relatively low wall shear stress area, <3 Pa, occurs near the anastomosis site in larger anastomosis angles. Therefore, the effect of high wall shear stress has advantages in the vicinity of the anastomosis, as the anastomosis angle is larger, but disadvantages as the distance from the anastomosis increases. Moreover, patients with low hematocrit are advantageous for WSS area.
