Investigation of the haemodynamic environment of bifurcation plaques within the left coronary artery in realistic patient models based on CT images

The aim of this study was to investigate the plaques at the left coronary artery (LCA) and their effect on the haemodynamic and wall shear stress (WSS) in realistic patient models. Three sample patients with left coronary disease were selected based on CT data. The plaques were present at the left a...
