Table 1.
Pre-stenosis | Post-stenosis without recirculating flow | Post-stenosis with recirculating flow | |
---|---|---|---|
Experiment 1 | 56.00 | 18.75 | 2.61 |
Experiment 2 | 44.21 | 20.87 | 2.73 |
Experiment 3 | 46.66 | 22.86 | 2.47 |
Experiment 4 | 42.00 | 23.10 | 2.73 |
Experiment 5 | 49.41 | 24.00 | 2.57 |
Mean [SD]* | 47.66 [0.54] | 21.91 [0.21] | 2.60 [0.01]† |
Results are expressed by flow rate (mL/min)
Mean represents the mean and SD of the 5 experiments;
The flow rate of post-stenotic area with recirculating flow were statistically significantly different with the other two location (P<0.001).
