Key result
Arterial curvature and stenosis size significantly impact hemodynamics, augmenting flow resistance and causing higher wall shear stress at the outer wall compared to the inside wall.
Both artery curvature and stenosis size significantly impact hemodynamics and should be considered when assessing stenosis complexity.

Supports including curvature in hemodynamic stenosis models; leaves open translation from animal data to clinical practice.
Ahamad et al. (2018) studied Stenosed artery. Arterial curvature angle and stenosis size (70%, 80%, 90%) was evaluated on Hemodynamics factors (drop in arterial pressure, flow velocity, wall shear stress). Arterial curvature and stenosis size significantly impact hemodynamics, augmenting flow resistance and causing higher wall shear stress at the outer wall compared to the inside wall.
