Abstract
Clinical and postmortem studies indicate that both primary atherosclerotic lesions and the deposition of platelet thrombi occur preferentially at the entrances of branching arteries and curved segments where flow is likely to be disturbed and separation of streamlines from the vessel wall and formation of vortices may occur (Mustard et al. 1962; Roach 1977).
