Pulsatile flow and wall shear stress in an anatomically correct model of a human left coronary artery segment is simulated numerically using the finite element method. The computational geometry model presenting a non-planar arterial branching is developed on the basis of a digitized anatomically correct cast. The results show that the non-planar branching has a strong influence on the flow and wall shear stress patterns. Locally the wall shear stress component caused by the complex secondary velocity pattern is higher than the axial component.
