Why the study?
Stenosis narrows arteries, reducing blood supply to the heart and potentially causing heart attacks, requiring evaluation of different stenosis types on blood flow models.
Population
Two-dimensional rigid wall computational model of a bifurcated artery
Comparison
Four possible plaque morphology locations vs healthy artery
Design
Finite element numerical simulation study using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2

Stenosis location alters simulated flow patterns in bifurcated arteries; leaves open clinical translation to patient risk.
Computational modeling of a bifurcated artery demonstrates how different stenosis locations alter blood flow streamline patterns.
