Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for simulation of occluded arteries and/or optimization of occlusion-based treatments. One method includes obtaining a patient-specific anatomic model of a patient's vasculature; obtaining an initial computational model of blood flow through the patient's vasculature based on the patient-specific anatomic model; obtaining a post-treatment computational model by modifying portions of the initial computational model based on an occlusion-based treatment; generating a pre-treatment blood flow characteristic using the initial computational model or computing a post-treatment blood flow using the post-treatment computational model; and outputting a representation of the pre-treatment blood flow characteristic or the post-treatment blood flow characteristic.
