Cases studied.

Case#1A healthy carotid bifurcation: a time-dependent simulation of the coupled domains

Case#2A narrowed postoperation carotid bifurcation with a suture: a time-dependent simulation of the coupled domains

Case#3A widened carotid bifurcation with a high flexibility patch: a time-dependent simulation of the coupled domains

Case#4A widened carotid bifurcation with a medium flexibility patch: a time-dependent simulation of the coupled domains

Case#5A widened carotid bifurcation with a low flexibility patch: a time-dependent simulation of the coupled domains
