Synopsis

4D flow MRI can be used to assess aortic coarctation (COA) repair hemodynamics in-vivo, however, challenges arise depending on hemodynamics and clinical presentation. This study presents a modeling pipeline for in-vitro COA hemodynamic assessment. Three patient-specific in-vitro models were created representing pre- and post-repair COA geometries, connected to a pulsatile flow loop, and imaged with 4D flow MRI to assess model hemodynamics. In all cases, aortic flow profiles are shown to improve after intervention. This agrees with clinical expectation, suggesting in-vitro 4D flow MRI can be used to analyze COA hemodynamics.
