Fig. 1

Parametric coronary bifurcation model that represents the left descending coronary artery with its first diagonal branch: top (a) and lateral (b) view. D PMB proximal main branch diameter, D DMB distal main branch diameter, D SB side branch diameter, α distal angle, β main branch angle, L P−PMB plaque length in the proximal main branch, L P−DMB plaque length in the distal main branch, L P−SB plaque length in the side branch. The black arrows at the plaque location in (b) highlights the plaque eccentricity. Dashed lines indicate the locations where pressure were measured for FFR calculations
