  1. Biofluids& Cell Mechanics Laboratory THE QUANTIFICATION OF TURBULENCEINSIDE AN ARTERIO-VENOUS GRAFT UNDER STEADY AND PULSATILE FLOW CONDITIONS Nurullah Arslan Industrial Engineering & Graduate Institute of Sciences and Engineering

  2. Arteriovenous Grafts Hemodialysis Patients Arterial Anastomosis VenousAnastomosis Basilic Vein Artery PTFE graft

  3. 19% 4% 11% Distribution of Stenosis Kanterman et al., (1995) 67Patients 49%

  4. FINANCIAL REPORT END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (ESRD) HEALTH SUBCOMMITTE HEARING (APRIL 3, 1995 Washington, DC.) IN 1995, MEDICARE IS EXPECTED TO SPEND NEARLY $8 BILLION, OR OVER 4% OF ALL TOTAL SPENDING ON OVER 200,000 ESRD PATIENTS. THAT IS ABOUT $40,000 PER BENEFICIARY

  5. MOTIVATIONImprove Patency rate • Repeated reconstruction of the AV graft is expensive and uncomfortable for the patient • A better understanding of the fluid dynamic environment may help understand the causes of graft failure

  6. NOMENCLATURE PVS Arterial Anastomosis Venous Anastomosis DVS PTFE Graft

  7. PICTURE OF A REAL CONNECTION FROM A SURGERY

  8. LITERATURE REVIEW COLOR DOPPLER ULTRASOUND MEASUREMENTS Fillinger et al. (1991) • replace or revise the vascular access every three years in over half of their of patients • indicated turbulence (tissue vibration) and Reynolds number to be well correlated with intimal-thickening at the venous anastomosis

  9. LASER DOPPLER ANEMOMETER MEASUREMENTS AND FLOW VISUALIZATION STUDIES (SHU ET AL. 1991) • A realistic model geometry of A-V graft • Velocity profiles • Implicate the stagnation point and separation region • Poor wall shear stress measurements • No turbulent measurements

  10. TURBULENCESTUDIES • Turbulent measurements in straight pipes(Laufer et al. 1954) • The effects of turbulence on blood flow in constricted tubes(Deshpande et al., 1980, Jones et al., 1985, Kehoe et al., 1990) • Red blood cell damage caused by high Reynolds stresses

  11. OBJECTIVE • To determine the distribution of turbulence and Reynolds stresses • To define the critical regions such as separation region, stagnation point, and high turbulent region within the venous anastomosis of an A-V graft

  12. METHODS • Laser Doppler anemometry measurements inside an in vitro upscaled model of the venous anastomosis • Steady flow experiments representative of mean flow conditions (Reynolds number) • Newtonian fluid, rigid model

  13. COLOR DOPPLER ULTRASOUND MEASUREMENTS TAKEN FROM AN A-V GRAFT INSIDE A HUMAN PATIENT

  36. Reynolds stress(u’v’) VALUES FOR Re=2000 and 2300

  37. NEAR WALL VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS FOR Re=2300 (Separation region)

  38. CONCLUSIONS Toe side of the PVS: • high turbulence (29%) , high Reynolds stresses (1263 dyne/cm2), strong secondary flow, and a large separation region • is often sited as the location of stenosis formation in A-V grafts

  39. FUTURE WORK • use a more physiological geometry • repeat measurements under pulsatile flow conditions • track the condition of patient’s graft
