Abstract
A general method is proposed for a theoretical evaluation of the hemodynamic effects of stenosis on the arterial subsystem affected by it. In particular, it is applied to a lower limb stenosis, so as to compare the results of the theoretical analysis to those that other authors have obtained experimentally by processing Doppler ultrasound blood flow velocity measurements proximal and distal to a stenosis in the superficial femoral artery (SFA).
