Vortical Structures Promote Atheroprotective Wall Shear Stress Distributions in a Carotid Artery Bifurcation Model

Carotid artery diseases, such as atherosclerosis, are a major cause of death in the United States. Wall shear stresses are known to prompt plaque formation, but there is limited understanding of the complex flow structures underlying these stresses and how they differ in a pre-disposed high-risk pat...
