Towards a patient-specific simulation of the balloon angioplasty treatment technique
Abstract
This work addresses the issue of patient specific (PS) simulation of balloon angioplasty (BA). As a further step towards an ideal BA simulation scenario, this study focuses on two main issues: material modeling using plastic constitutive law to imitate the plaque permanent deformation and segmentation of the CT images to extract PS 3D geometry of the stenosed artery.
