Impact of blood flow volume in determining the destination of intracardiac thrombi using computational fluid dynamics

Atrial fibrillation (AF) induces cardioembolic stroke due to intracardiac fibrin thrombus formation. Although it is well established that a cardioembolic stroke affects the anterior circulation more frequently than it affects the posterior circulation, the destination where the thrombi migrate when...
