Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of the Effect of Plaques in the Left Coronary Artery

<table>Cross-sectional views of K–O at the left circumflex. Flow velocity observed with and without presence of plaque models during systolic peak of 0.4 s and middiastolic phase of 0.7 s. Arrows indicate that the low flow velocity areas are present in the proximal segment of left circumflex due to the effect of plaques located at the left main stem.</table>
