Abstract Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard to identify individual stenosis causing myocardial ischemia in catheter laboratory. The purpose of this study is to present a fast simulation method to estimate FFR value of a coronary artery, which can evaluate the performance of vascular stenosis, based on resistance boundary conditions. A patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) model of the left coronary system with intermediate diameter stenosis was reconstructed based on the CTA images. The resistance boundary conditions used to simulate the coronary microcirculation were computed based on anatomical reconstruction of coronary 3D model. This study was performed by coupling the 3D… More >
