Abstract:
Atherosclerotic plaques form at specific sites of the arterial tree, an observation that has led to the "geometric risk factor" hypothesis for atherogenesis. It is accepted that the location of atherosclerotic plaques is correlated with sites subjected to low abnormal values of wall shear stress (WSS), which is in turn determined by the specific geometry of the arterial segment. In particular, the left coronary artery (LCA) is one of the most important sites of plaque formation and its progression may lead to stroke. However, little is known about hemodynamics and WSS distributions in the LCA. The purpose of this work is to set up a method to evaluate flow patterns and WSS distributions in the human LCA based on real patient-specific geometries reconstructed from medical images.
