Local fluid dynamics in patients with bifurcated coronary lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions

Although the coronary arteries are uniformly exposed to systemic cardiovascular risk factors, atherosclerosis development has a non-random distribution, which follows the local mechanical stresses including flow-related hemodynamic forces. Among these, wall shear stress plays an essential role and i...
