Hypothesis-generating in animal carotid stenosis models; leaves open whether spatial shear metrics improve human stenosis assessment.
Computational fluid dynamics modeling suggests that spatial average values of oscillatory shear and limiting streamlines may be more accurate than maximum values for assessing carotid stenosis severity and atherogenesis risk.
BASAVARAJA et al. (2016) studied Carotid artery stenosis. Varying degree of carotid artery stenosis was evaluated on Spatial and temporal variations of wall shear stress (WSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI). High carotid artery stenosis models demonstrated larger normalized wall shear stress in the internal carotid artery and smaller values in the common carotid artery.
