SUMMARY
- Perturbation of Murray’s geometry (diameters and angles) can affect the local hemodynamics.
- Stents have significant effects on fluid and solid mechanics of endothelium and vessel wall.
- There is a direct relation between Wall Stress and IH and inverse relation between WSS and IH.
- Current ongoing studies will evaluate the physical basis for stenting of SB.
