Modelling of embolus transport and embolic stroke

Modelling of embolus transport and embolic stroke

Cerebral microembolism may lead to the restriction of blood supply due to damaged blood vessel tissue (focal ischemia) which is increasingly seen as the cause of cognitive deterioration including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.The flow through fractal models of the peripheral vasculature...
