Computing patient-specific hemodynamics in stented femoral artery models obtained from computed tomography using a validated 3D reconstruction method

Patients with peripheral artery disease who undergo endovascular treatment are often inflicted by in-stent restenosis. The relation between restenosis and abnormal hemodynamics may be analyzed using patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. In this work, first a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method, based on an in-house semi-automatic segmentation algorithm of a patient's computed tomography (CT) images with...
