Flow modeling in Patient No. 3 in pre and post intervention status. (a) Viscous shear stress (VSS) magnitude; (b) Computed Reynolds Shear stress (\(\rho \overline{{u^{\prime}v^{\prime}}} , \rho \overline{{u^{\prime}w^{\prime}}}\) and \(\rho \overline{{w^{\prime}v^{\prime}}}\)) magnitude; (c) Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), computed as \(\frac{1}{2}\rho \left( {\overline{{u^{{\prime}{2}} }} + \overline{{v^{{\prime}{2}} }} + \overline{{w^{{\prime}{2}} }} } \right)\), where u, v, w and ρ correspond to the three components of the instantaneous velocity vector and density. The bar and prime denote the ensemble averaged and fluctuating components, respectively.
