Time-resolved 3D particle traces in patient 1, 13 years after operative repair of aortic coarctation by a Waldhausen subclavian flap angioplasty. The movie illustrates the temporal evolution of blood flow originating from emitter planes in the ascending aorta and aortic arch. Three distinct flow patterns can clearly be appreciated: Accelerated flow in the tubular shaped aortic arch, vortex formation within the descending aortic aneurysm, and considerable helical flow in the ascending and descending aorta. Color coding = local blood flow velocity magnitude.
