Abstract (EN): The present work shows the relative residence time spatial distribution, the strongest metric of hemodynamic descriptors for assessing atherosclerotic plaque formation, for completely different patient cases: different geometry configuration, different percentage of lumen stenosis and different locations of the stenosis. The stenosis tends to increase, even more, when located between two side-branch bifurcations. Moreover, locations with high roughness have a high tendency to atherosclerosis appearance.
