CONCLUSION

  • Bifurcations is the art of geometry, fluid dynamics and rheology.
  • On the other hand, atherosclerosis, plaque vulnerability and thrombosis are closely associated with the geometric and fluid dynamics factors at the bifurcation.
  • Advances in the current imaging modalities will enable the development of more accurate models for the study of geometry and flow conditions in coronary bifurcations.
