Caution against clinical extrapolation from this animal model; extends mechanistic insights into stenosis geometry and thrombosis but leaves translation open.
The geometry of the stenosis inflow region is a critical determinant of shear stress and subsequent platelet activation and thrombus formation in coronary arteries.
Strony et al. (1993) studied this question.
