A low-cost particle image velocimetry set-up that allows to investigate the fluid dynamics inside realistic coronary artery phantoms has been implemented. The proposed smart test bench for experimental characterization of arterial hemodynamics also in the presence of implanted devices represents a low-cost equipment that can be easily implemented in non-expert laboratories for research as well as educational applications.
