Elliptical geometry reduces wall shear stress versus cylindrical models; hypothesis-generating for atherogenesis and requires human validation.
Elliptical vessel geometry significantly alters flow patterns and wall shear stress compared to cylindrical models, which may have implications for understanding atherogenic sites.
Robertson et al. (2001) studied this question.
