Abstract
Blood flow is complex due to the presence of curves, multiple branches, non-Newtonian flow, and
pulsating effect. Even when an individual receives a bypass, which saves the patient, several years
later a new bypass may be required due to graft failure. There are two different approaches for
multiple bypass grafts, and clinical observations are inconclusive as to which approach is better.
The aim of this study is to provide a systematic numerical approach considering different effects
(curves, branches, non-Newtonian behavior, and pulsation) individually, and then integrating them
together. The final goal is to better understand the geometrical effects of graft.
