Validates finite element modeling of carotid bifurcation flow in rigid models; leaves open translation to compliant, in vivo settings.
Finite element modeling can accurately predict complex hemodynamic patterns, such as reversed axial flow, in the carotid artery bifurcation.
Rindt et al. (1996) studied Carotid artery bifurcation flow. Finite element calculations vs. Laser-Doppler velocity measurements was evaluated on Axial and secondary flow. Finite element calculations accurately predicted axial and secondary flow in a rigid 3-D model of the carotid artery bifurcation compared with laser-Doppler velocity measurements.
