Abstract The in vivo and ex vivo compliance of arteries are expected to be closely related and estimated. Fluid-structure interaction analysis can assess the agreement between the two compliances. To evaluate this hypothesis, a pulsatile fluid-structure interaction analysis of blood flow in femoral artery of a dog was conducted using: (1) measured in vivo mean pressure (72.5 mmHg), mean pressure drop (0.59 mmHg), mean velocity (15.1 cm/sec); and (2) ex vivo measurements of non -- linear elastic properties of femoral artery. Additional analyses were conducted for physiological pressures (104.1 and 140.7 mmHg) and blood flow using a characteristic linear pressure More >
