We consider the problem of blood flow through a catheterized artery in the presence
of a bell shaped stenosis using Newtonian fluid model. The analytical expression for
the blood flow characteristics, namely, the velocity profile, the flow rate, the
impedance, the wall shear stress in the stenotic region and the shear stress at stenosis
throat have been derived. The combined effect of stenosis and catheterization on flow
characteristics is studied for different values of parameters.
