From bench to simulation
Bifurcation stenting simulation: the vessel

CONCLUSION
- Patient-based bifurcation models
- We need to automate some time-consuming steps in order to use these simulations for a large series of patients
- The better the imaging techniques, the better the models
- Material modelling
- Not all real-life phenomena are included (e.g. dissections)
- Imaging might play a crucial role (accurate in-vivo determination of mechanical properties?)
