Abstract |
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a modeling technique that enables calculation of the behavior of fluid flows in complex geometries. In cardiovascular medicine, CFD methods are being used to calculate patient-specific hemodynamics for a variety of applications, such as disease research, noninvasive diagnostics, medical device evaluation, and surgical planning. This paper provides a concise overview of the methods to perform patient-specific computational analyses using clinical data, followed by a case study where CFD-supported surgical planning is presented in a patient with Fontan circulation complicated by unilateral pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. In closing, the challenges for implementation and adoption of CFD modeling in clinical practice are discussed. |
