Anti-margination of microparticles and platelets in the vicinity of branching vessels
C. Bächer, A. Kihm, L. Schrack +4
We investigate the margination of microparticles/platelets in blood flow through complex geometries typical for in vivo vessel networks: a vessel confluence and a bifurcation. Usin…
