Computational study of the effects of arterial bifurcation on the temperature distribution during cryosurgery

Abstract Background Thermally significant blood flows into locally cooled diseased tissues and warm them during cryosurgery so that the iceball is often hard to cover the whole diseased volume. This paper is aimed at investigating the effects of large arterial bifurcation on the temperature distribu...
