  • Vessel and Strut level hemodynamics may influence post scaffold and long term vascular healing
  • The methodology deployed should be tailored to the clinical questions asked
  • Macro or vessel level hemodynamics may not require 3 D vessel scaffold reconstruction which is extremely complex and time consuming
  • Micro or strut level hemodynamics require complex, meticulous and time consuming techniques but have the potential of evaluating the interaction of plaque prolapse, strut morphology and perhaps scaffold thrombosis
  • Prospective studies are underway to investigate the prognostic value of both macro and micro level hemodynamics as they relate to vascular healing of scaffolded vessels
