Alteration of arterial wall shear stress (WSS) may cause endothelial damage which
is believed to be a major cause of plaque and thrombus formation. Stent implantation
affects WSS values which might lead to in-stent restenosis. It has been shown that
WSS values change particularly between stent struts and in post-stent region. This
study presents computational fluid dynamics models to analyze blood flow in stented
human coronary arteries and investigate effects of a flow divider on haemodynamic
parameters.
