Finite element analysis shows that hemodynamic and structural stresses in a stenotic artery increase dramatically up to 89% area reduction, after which flow rate reductions limit further stress increases.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Stresses peak by 89% stenosis reduction; hypothesis-generating for rupture risk models pending clinical validation.
Bathe et al. (1999) studied this question.
