Key result
Generic inlet conditions in ICA modeling alter hemodynamic magnitudes but minimally affect spatial distribution.
Why the study?
Computational FSI modeling of internal carotid artery hemodynamics relies heavily on inlet flow conditions, but the influence of simplified, generic inlet conditions is unclear.
Population

Comparison
Four heart rates (6690 bpm) and several representative inlet waveforms

Generic inlet conditions may bias ICA flow predictions in FSI models; leaves open patient-specific validation before any clinical translation.
Arterial geometry plays a dominant role in determining the location of atheroprone regions in the internal carotid artery, meaning generic inlet conditions may suffice for qualitative identification of high-risk regions, though patient-specific data are needed for quantitative accuracy.
Sekhane et al. (2026) studied Atherosclerosis and stroke. Generic inlet flow conditions was evaluated on ICA hemodynamics (velocity, pressure, WSS, TAWSS, OSI, RRT). Generic inlet conditions in FSI modeling of the internal carotid artery significantly affect the magnitude of hemodynamic parameters but minimally impact their spatial distribution.
