Hemodynamic Impact of Stenting on Carotid Bifurcation: A Potential Role of the Stented Segment and External Carotid Artery

Figure 1

(a) Geometry of the carotid bifurcation model with a stenosis in ICA. (b–d) Carotid models with short (13.2 mm), medium (17.7 mm), and long stent (22 mm), respectively. The locations of slices 1-6 are indicated in (c) and (d), taken as examples. (e) View of the flow presentation. (f) Inlet fluid velocity waveform [16] applied in this numerical simulation.
