Innovation at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center pushes the boundaries of what is possible and shapes a better future for cardiovascular patient care. On Monday, we celebrated 25 years of innovation – exploring our center’s the past, present and future.

The Section of Vascular Surgery has a new faculty member: Craig Brown, MD! He completed his residency and fellowship here, and now he joins us as a Clinical Assistant Professor.

After breaking ground in late 2003, the Frankel Cardiovascular Center (then U-M CVC) opened in June 2007, offering a new way of treating & studying cardiovascular disease. The building united many people and programs dedicated to heart and vascular care.

Is this carotid artery lesion a "hemodynamically significant" stenosis? Excited to share my first ever computational model. Stay tuned as I try to provide insight into how to better answer that question.

Behind every great surgery is great research. @BloodFlowSim shows up every day looking to build upon his work in image-based simulation of hemodynamics. #WeAreUMichSurgery Get to know us: medicine.umich.edu/dept/surg…

#newinJBME This computational study led by @BloodFlowSim describes the mechanisms that drive dynamic obstruction during aortic dissection, a life-threatening delamination of the artery that can suddenly block blood flow to the heart. doi.org/10.1115/1.4056355

We have a #postdoc opening - details in the image. A joint project between @umichme and @NAMEatUM that combines optical imaging techniques with particle-based methods for reconstructing turbulent flows.

If you are visiting the U-M Museum of Natural History @UMMNH make sure to check out my interactive research station "Physics of Flow" and learn how supercomputers are used to better understand flows all around us. Also get a close-up view of @umichARC HPC server.
