Swirling Flow and Wall Shear: Evaluating the BioMimics 3D Helical Centerline Stent for the Femoropopliteal Segment
Figure 2
A model of atherogenesis/restenosis, showing differences caused by physiologic arterial wall shear (a) and low (proatherogenic/prorestenotic) wall shear (b) in upregulation of endothelial-cell genes and proteins that are atheroprotective/antirestenotic or atherogenic/restenotic.
