Comparison of stented bifurcation and straight vessel 3D-simulation with a prior simulated velocity profile inlet

Coronary diseases are the main reason for death in the western world. Bio-fluid mechanical correlations with arterial diseases are in the focus of our research. To treat occluded vessels, stents are implanted. Stent implantations can be associated with blood flow disruptions leading to restenosis or...
