Effect of Emissary Vein on Hemodynamics of the Transverse- Sigmoid Sinus Junction
Objective: To investigate the effect of the blood flow direction and afflux location of emissary veins (EVs) on the hemodynamics of the transverse-sigmoid sinus (TS-SS) junction.Methods: A patient-specific geometric model was constructed using computed tomography venography (CTV) and 4D flow MR data...
