The Problem
If the doctor insert stent in main vessel, the doctor may see the lesions at the side branch grow up to 90%. Is it a true blockage or it is just carina (angle shift)? If it is a true blockage, then the intervention is required. But, if it is just carina, how can the doctor detect this without going through another procedure (another scan, flow meter, intervention)?
The solution
UTM-CIAM helped KPJ to investigate the effects of stent geometry and bifurcation angle on blood flow pattern and solve the mathematical modelling of the problem by analytical and numerical methods.
