چکیده
Fig. 3: Segmental distribution of the individual upper 15% of OSI and lower 15% of WSSmag in all analyzed 64 carotid arteries and 6 analysis planes in the CCA and ICA. The segmental distribution in the central graphs represents the number of volunteers who had potentially atherogenic low WSSmag or high OSI in the respective carotid region.

Carotid Artery Wall Shear Stress: Distribution, Correlation with Geometry and Effect of Atherosclerosis
Introduction: A number of studies have shown that the development of atherosclerosis in the carotid artery is also related to the geometry and local hemodynamic conditions [1,2]. Particularly, low absolute wall shear stress (WSSmag) and a high oscillatory shear index (OSI) predict the development of vulnerable plaques [3]. No comprehensive analysis of the segmental in-vivo topology of physiolog...
متن کاملAssessment of Influences of Stenoses in Right Carotid Artery on Left Carotid Artery Using Wall Stress Marker
Purpose. Atherosclerosis is a diseased condition of blood vessel. It causes partial blockage in lumen of vessel and affects hemodynamic of localized flowing blood. Complex geometries like region of bifurcation also affects hemodynamic to a larger extent. Complexity further increases in presence of stenoses at region of bifurcation. Such morphological change in vessel largely affects parent as w...
متن کاملComputational particle-hemodynamics analysis and geometric reconstruction after carotid endarterectomy
Transient three-dimensional laminar incompressible dilute suspension flow in rigid in-plane carotid artery bifurcations has been solved with a user-enhanced finite-volume program. Instantaneous velocity vector and wall shear stress vector fields illustrate strong "disturbed flow" patterns. Implications of elevated surface contours of hemodynamic wall parameters, indicating such disturbed flows,...
متن کاملHemodynamics of human carotid artery bifurcations: computational studies with models reconstructed from magnetic resonance imaging of normal subjects.
PURPOSE The precise role played by hemodynamics, particularly wall shear stress, in the development and progression of vascular disease remains unclear, in large part because of a lack of in vivo studies with humans. Although technical challenges remain for noninvasively imaging wall shear stresses in humans, vascular anatomy can be imaged with sufficiently high resolution to allow reconstructi...
متن کاملIn vivo wall shear stress distribution in the carotid artery: effect of bifurcation geometry, internal carotid artery stenosis, and recanalization therapy.
BACKGROUND the purpose of this study was to analyze the in vivo distribution of absolute wall shear stress (WSS(abs)) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) in the carotid bifurcation and to evaluate its dependence on bifurcation geometry, the presence of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, and recanalization therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS time-resolved 3D blood flow was acquired with flow-sensi...
