Patient-Specific Study of a Stenosed Carotid Artery Bifurcation Using Fluid-Structure Interactive Simulation

Atherosclerosis at the carotid bifurcation is a major risk factor for stroke. A computational model incorporating transient wall deformation of carotid arteries was developed to assess the influence of artery compliance on wall shear stress (WSS). Clinical data was obtained from ultrasound technique...
