Pressure Drop in Tortuosity/Kinking of the Internal Carotid Artery: Simulation and Clinical Investigation

<div>The results of the carotid kinking numerical simulation. (a1)–(a4) are the pressure distributions at the kinking angles of 10°, 30°, 60°, and 90°, respectively. (b1)–(b4) are the velocity distributions at the kinking angles of 10°, 30°, 60°, and 90°, respectively.</div>
