The theory of optimal control based on adjoint formulation is applied in order to optimize the shape of the zone of the incoming branch of the bypass (the toe) into the coronary. The aim is to provide design indications in the perspective of future development for prosthetic bypasses.optimal controlshape optimizationsmall perturbation theoryfinite elementshaemodynamicsaorto-coronaric bypass anastomosesdesign of improved medical devicestext::journal::journal article::research article
