Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of the Effect of Plaques in the Left Coronary Artery

This study was to investigate the hemodynamic effect of simulated plaques in left coronary artery models, which were generated from a sample patient’s data. Plaques were simulated and placed at the left main stem and the left anterior descending (LAD) to produce at least 60% coronary stenosis. Compu...
