Why the study?
Does catheter insertion alter the hemodynamic environment in a 3D model of the left coronary artery?

Computational modeling shows that catheter insertion during PCI significantly increases wall shear stress and velocity in the LAD, which may contribute to perioperative complications like thrombosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Catheter insertion may raise perioperative thrombosis risk in PCI; hypothesis-generating in animal models, needs human validation.
Tian et al. (2016) studied this question.
