The Impact of Blood Rheology on Drug Transport in Stented Arteries: Steady Simulations

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: It is important to ensure that blood flow is modelled accurately in numerical studies of arteries featuring drug-eluting stents due to the significant proportion of drug transport from the stent into the arterial wall which is flow-mediated. Modelling blood is complicated, ho...
