Assessment of Carotid Stenoses by the Principle of Fractional Flow Reserve Derived from CT

J. Vimmr, A. Jonášová, O. Bublík
pages 348 - 349, full text

The content of the study is focused on multiscale modelling of pulsatile non-Newtonian blood flow in patient-specific models of complete carotid bifurcations. The modelled flow parameters, especially those of outlet Windkessel models, are tuned on the basis of in-vivo measurements provided by the courtesy of the University Hospital Pilsen. The process of tuning is carried out by utilising corresponding 1D models of the carotid bifurcations. To assess the physiological significance of atherosclerotic lesions present in the models, a novel non-invasive variant of the fractional flow reserve method known as FFRCT is used.
