For the analysis of flows in compliant vessels, we propose an approach to couple the original 3D equations with a convenient 1D model. This multiscal- e strategy allows for a dramatic reduction of the computational complexity and is suitable for " absorbing " outgoing pressure waves. In particular, it is of utmost interest for the description of blood motion in the arterial system.
