Simulations may flag future carotid stenosis sites; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical role.
Numerical simulations of carotid artery hemodynamics provide insights into wall shear stress distribution, which may help predict sites of future stenosis growth.
Антонова et al. (2014) studied Carotid artery stenosis. Numerical simulation of 3D blood flow vs. Common carotid artery bifurcation without stenoses was evaluated on Axial velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) distribution. Numerical simulations of blood flow in the carotid artery bifurcation demonstrated that wall shear stress distribution can predict probable sites of stenosis growth.
