Abstract
A method for planning treatment of a stenosis in a vascular segment includes providing a geometric description of the vascular segment on a computer and determining a course of a hemodynamic parameter of the vascular segment along the vascular segment based on the geometric description provided by the computer. The computer calculates a mathematical derivative of the hemodynamic parameter over the length of the vascular segment along the vascular segment. At least one length section is specified for the vascular segment, and a value of the hemodynamic parameter in a distal end region of the vascular segment is simulated for a treatment device introduced virtually into the specified length section as a function of the mathematical derivative. The treatment of the stenosis including the introduction of the treatment device into the specified length section is planned as a function of the simulated value for the hemodynamic parameter.
