Abstract:Purpose
In arterial disease, the presence of two or more serial stenotic lesions is common. For mild lesions, it is difficult to predict whether their combined effect is hemodynamically significant. This study assessed the hemodynamic significance of idealized serial stenotic lesions by simulating their hemodynamic interaction in a computational flow model.
Materials and Methods
Flow was simulated with SimVascular software in 34 serial lesions, using moder… Show more
