Fig. 4

Contour plots of FFR for cases with 80 % side branch stenosis and flow split of 65 %:35 % (for the distal main branch and side branch outlets, respectively), which corresponds to 42 mL/min side branch flow-rate. The distal angle was variable: 40° (a), 55° (b), 70° (c). The location of the proximal main branch (PMB), distal main branch (DMB), and side branch (SB) is indicated in c. Note that with increasing distal bifurcation angle, FFR in the side branch decreases
