Method to simulate distal flow resistance in coronary arteries in 3D printed patient specific coronary models

Abstract Background Three-dimensional printing (3DP) offers a unique opportunity to build flexible vascular patient-specific coronary models for device testing, treatment planning, and physiological simulations. By optimizing the 3DP design to replicate the geometrical and mechanical properties of h...
