CONCLUSION
Towards (patient-specific) virtual interventional planning – i.e. open problems for engineers:
- Material properties of the arterial wall and plaque
- Detailed anatomy from routine visualisation techniques – i.e. beyond fluoroscopy
- Inlet flow curve and outlet pressure/flow split
- Short term prediction
- How to smoothly fit in the clinical workflow?
