CONCLUSION

• HK model is in agreement with measurements of all bifurcations types (e.g., Y and T) and provides high WSS and low OSI.
• Murray and area-preservation models are not in agreement with experimental measurements. Murray’s law provides lower WSS and higher OSI which challenges the previous assumed notion that Murray’s bifurcation angle is ideal for optimal hemodynamics.
• Finet is in agreement for Y bifurcations but not for T-bifurcations where it leads to lower WSS and higher OSI.
