A Computational Model to Assess Poststenting Wall Stresses Dependence on Plaque Structure and Stenosis Severity in Coronary Artery
Figure 5
(a) Coronary inlet velocity pulse representing a cardiac cycle with five selected time instants marked on it. Histograms of the percentage of luminal wall area with wall shear stress values less than 0.5 Pa ( Pa) for 40%, 60%, and 80% stenoses when fibrous cap is (b) thin, (c) medium, and (d) thick.
