Wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index measured using ultrasound vector flow imaging in the femoropopliteal artery of adults without peripheral artery disease
Variations in WSS, OSI, and RRT are evident along the femoropopliteal artery in adults without PAD. Notably, the distal SFA at the adductor canal demonstrated significantly lower and more oscillatory WSS, consistent with the region's reported high prevalence of atherosclerotic plaque and occlusion. Whether these hemodynamic patterns contribute to lesion development later in life remains uncertain and warrants further investigation.
