Abstract

In this study, various models with different curvatures of bend and different inter-stenotic distances are created. The computations are carried out and the numerical results are compared with the computer simulation in a right coronary artery model reconstructed using the basic information from a coronary artery segment of a patient. Our results show that the curvature of bend significantly affects the wall shear stress (WSS) and the pressure drop (PD) in curved artery with two moderate stenoses. The location of the distal stenosis strongly influences the flow pattern downstream, while the effect of the location of the proximal stenosis is insignificant.
