Abstract
The MOTRICO project plans the development of an advanced environment that will offer computer assistance for cardiac therapy and diagnosis, which would be useful in the hemodynamics units of those hospitals that have access to the instrumental techniques of Angiography and Intravascular Ultrasounds. The work presented in this paper will describe modeling and finite element mesh generation of an anatomically realistic model of the human left coronary artery bifurcation. The computational geometric model has been developed on the basis of real anatomical information and it has a coronary vessel segment developed on the basis of the information obtained by means of the fusion of angiograms and intravascular ultrasound images(IVUS).
