Bifurcation lesions Fundamental aspects

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.
