AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWIn this work, we publish the 3D unsteady Navier-Stokes numerical simulations and meshes of coronary arteries reconstructed from invasive X-ray coronary angiograms acquired during in the Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2 (FAME 2) trial. Out of the 914 clinical images, 779 vessels are successfully reconstructed and meshed. The remaining 135 vessels have been discarded since they exhibited self-intersecting geometry during the reconstruction process. The meshes are hexahedral and all of them have the same number of vertices and identical connectivity; their high quality is demonstrated using standard mesh quality indices. The simulations are performed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) with state-of-the-art coronary boundary conditions applied at the outlet. The motivation behind this effort relies from the scarcity of publicly available numerical haemodynamics data, despite the growing interest in data-driven modeling and machine learning techniques.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
