Assessment with clinical data of a coupled bio-hemodynamics numerical model to predict leukocyte adhesion in coronary arteries

Abstract Numerical simulations of coupled hemodynamics and leukocyte transport and adhesion inside coronary arteries have been performed. Realistic artery geometries have been obtained for a set of four patients from intravascular ultrasound and angiography images. The numerical model computes unste...
