Patient-specific bifurcation stenting simulation
Discussion and EBC PREDICTION study
Author: Yves Louvard, MD, ICPS, France
DISCUSSION
- Surrogate for big expensive clinical trials comparing stenting techniques (long term outcome) ? Good idea ?
- 3D patient specific anatomy
- Stented bifurcation
- 3D model: one center / several ? (reproducibility)
- WSS in stented bifurcation for prediction (no available value for NIH / WSS, variable with stent, localisation only: pilot study)
- Clinical centers: FU Angio and OCT/OFDI
- Funding for clinical study: OCT/OFDI company (catheters, core lab)
- Funding for patient specific WSS profile
- CRO?
- Specific stent (funding for 8 and 9 ?)
