Implication

Hypothesis-generating in animal carotid stenosis models; leaves open whether spatial shear metrics improve human stenosis assessment.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3D models generated from multiple CT volumes of subjects in the carotid bifurcation zone with varying degrees of carotid artery stenosis
E
Exposure
Finite volume-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to simulate hemodynamics in pulsatile flow conditions
O
Outcome
Spatial and temporal variations of wall shear stress (WSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI)surrogate

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.

Cite This Study

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.
