Particle Image Velocimetry Evaluation of Hemodynamics Proximal to the Kissing Stent Configuration in the Aorto-Iliac Bifurcation.

The role of this article is to provide further insight into the haemodynamic behavior through a stented aorto-iliac artery. The results of this investigation will improve the understanding of the effects that using the kissing stent method may have on a patient and help to identify high risk regions that may require more detailed monitoring. This paper also develops the in vitro modelling techniques that will enable further research that cannot be carried out within patients.
