Detailed quantitative evaluation of flow and flow-mediated transport processes in the thrombus neighborhood within large artery hemodynamics is crucial for understanding disease progression and assessing treatment efficacy. This, however, remains a challenging task owing to the complexity of pulsatile viscous flow interactions with arbitrary shape and heterogeneous microstructure of realistic thrombi. Here, we address this challenge by conducting a systematic parametric simulation-based study on characterizing unsteady hemodynamics and flow-mediated transport in the neighborhood of an arterial thrombus. We use a hybrid particle-continuum-based finite element approach to handle arbitrary thrombus shape and microstructural variations. Results from a cohort of 50 different unsteady flow scenarios are presented, including unsteady vortical structures, pressure gradient across the thrombus boundary, finite time Lyapunov exponents, and dynamic coherent structures that organize advective transport. We clearly illustrate the combined influence of three key parameters-thrombus shape, microstructure, and extent of wall disease-in terms of (a) determining hemodynamic features in the thrombus neighborhood and (b) governing the balance between advection, permeation, and diffusion to regulate transport processes in the thrombus neighborhood. To show some preliminary results about the possibility to exploit a cardiovascular mathematical model-made patient-specific by noninvasive data routinely measured during ordinary clinical examinations-in order to obtain sufficiently accurate central blood pressure (BP) estimates. A closed-loop multiscale (0D and 1D) model of the cardiovascular system is made patient-specific by using as model inputs the individual mean heart rate and left-ventricular contraction time, weight
