3D Simulation Analysis of Central Shunt in Patient-Specific Hemodynamics: Effects of Varying Degree of Pulmonary Artery Stenosis and Shunt Diameters

<div>The reconstruction process of the 3D anatomies of the pulmonary artery stenosis patient. Only the 4 mm diameter shunt is shown in the figure, but other sizes configurations (3, 3.5, 4.5, and 5 mm) are provided in scale for comparison and the angle and position of anastomosis remain unchanged. The 3D model on the LEFT represents pulmonary artery atresia (<i>α</i> = 0%) and the RIGHT shows pulmonary artery stenosis (<i>α</i> = 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%). Sections A-A, B-B, C-C, and D-D indicate the cross sections of LPA, RPA, and the shunt, respectively.</div>
