Fig. 9.

Simulation results for intimal area around the idealized stenosis of 50% (a), 70% (b), and 80% (c) reduction in stenosis (diameter) at its center under low flow condition at 1week (solid line), 2 weeks (dashed line), 3weeks (dotted line), and 6months (dashed with dotted line). No significant change is seen beyond about 1month. The axial position of 0cm is the location of the minimal luminal area (throat). The maximum Reynolds number generated in all the flow conditions is 528 and well in the range of laminar flow
