Reveals flow dynamics affected by stent malapposition in bifurcated arteries, suggesting implications for treatment.
There is complex interplay between stent malapposition and hemodynamics within a patient-specific bifurcation. The significant impact of local lumen curvature on flow dynamics underscores the limitations of idealized artery models. Moreover, the absence of thrombosis in subsequent clinical follow-up cases suggests that additional factors, such as antiplatelet medication, may play a significant role in mitigating these risks.
