Why the study?
Fluid-structure interaction procedures can provide a realistic approach to investigate blood flow coupled with arterial wall response in cardiovascular abnormalities.
Does fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling compared to rigid wall modeling alter hemodynamic estimations in stenotic coronary and carotid arteries?
Population
Stenotic right coronary artery and stenotic carotid artery models
Comparison
Elastic artery walls modeled via fluid-structure interaction vs rigid artery walls

Challenges rigid-wall assumptions for coronary WSS estimates; leaves open human clinical translation of FSI modeling.
Does fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling compared to rigid wall modeling alter hemodynamic estimations in stenotic coronary and carotid arteries?
Rigid wall assumptions are plausible for flow modeling in large arteries like the carotid, but FSI approaches are essential for accurate modeling in smaller arteries like coronaries.
