Overview of the patient-specific stented RCA model and assumptions studied. The RCA model was reconstructed from IVUS and computed tomography. Multiple versions of this model were then subjected to simulations applying assumptions focusing on inlet velocity profile (parabolic or Womersley), outlet boundary conditions (3-element or 5 element), and viscosity model (Newtonian or non-Newtonian) in order to assess differences in common WSS indices.
