Workflow to run the CFD simulation. A. Contrast enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) acquired to image the aortic arch. B. Extracted aortic geometry from the CMR dataset. C. Boundary condition setup in the three openings of the aortic geometry: 1) The applied flow rate is constructed as a proportion of the inlet flow in order to have a constant wall shear stress [l/min] 2) Phase-contrast CMR flow obtained in the ascending aorta [l/min]. 3) Catheter pressure measurements at the level of the diaphragmatic aorta [mmHg].
