Pulsatile velocitities were measured by laser Doppler anemometry at fourteen sites near the
walls of a cast of a minimally diseased human left coronary artery bifurcation. The flow wave
used in th experiments was physiologically realistic. The sites selected for hemodynamic
measurement were at the outer walls of the left main artery and its anterior descending and
circumflex branches, and along the flov divider. The intimal and medial thicknesses at
corresponding sites in the original branch were also measured. Wall shear rates were …
