Carotid geometry effects on blood flow and on risk for vascular disease

Abstract It has been widely observed that atherosclerotic diseases occur at sites with complex hemodynamics, such as artery bifurcations, junctions, and regions of high curvature. These regions usually have very low or highly oscillatory wall shear stress (WSS). In the present work, 3D pulsatile blo...
