CONCLUSION
Performing a complete bifurcation stenting procedure using finite element simulations within a patient-based model is feasible
This ‘virtual patient treatment’ approach needs to be validated and calibrated using post-operative imaging modalities (e.g. 10 patients)
This technology could be used for training purposes
- To get more insights in techniques and devices
- To optimize techniques and devices
- To get additional information during a clinical trial
- … and for pre-operative planning
