Abstract
The numerical simulations of the haemodynamics were performed. An idealized and realistic distal bypass graft junctions were used for the purpose. The flow patterns in the idealized and realistic geometries were characterized by significant secondary flow features, a three dimensional stagnation point on the bed of the junction, a recirculation region in the proximal outflow segment opposite the heel of the junction, a separation region in the host artery distal to the toe of the junction and strong helical flow patterns in the host artery distal to the junction.
