A three-dimensional multiscale model for the prediction of thrombus growth under flow with single-platelet resolution

Effect of stenosis severity on platelet aggregation.
Snapshots of platelets (blue indicates inactivated and red, highly activated) observed after 500 seconds are shown for stenoses with reductions in flow area of (A) 37%, (B) 50%, (C) 63%, and (D) 75%. Simulations were carried out under constant pressure drop that corresponded to an initial inlet wall shear rate of 1000s-1.
