Effects of Stenting on Blood Flow in a Coronary Artery Network Model

The effect of stenting on blood flow is investigated using a model of the coronary artery network. The parameters in a generic non-linear pressure–radius relationship are varied in the stented region to model the increase in stiffness of the vessel due to the presence of the stent. A computationally...
