Abstract
Non-invasive stenosis detection has always been difficult. A new concept of applying external pressure over the artery was compared with stenosis growth in this computational study. When stenosis develops, the artery constricts, obstructing blood flow in that area. Under external pressure, the constricted artery behaves similarly. The current fluid-structure interaction study compares the hemodynamic parameters of a stenosed artery and an artery subjected to external pressure. Significant similarities were discovered when the velocity profile and arterial displacement for both scenarios were compared. This study can be used to characterise stenosis experimentally while remaining non-invasive.
