Abstract
A study was done on the flow evaluation of a compliant coronary artery anastomosis model. The models were constructed of a silicone elastomer having an inlet angle of 30 degrees with internal diameters of 5 mm (artery) and 7 mm (veins). The analysis showed the presence of secondary velocity components at downstream sections of the Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
