FIGURE 1

Post-operative CT scan of the complete revascularization procedure (left). Right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), and left internal mammary artery (LIMA) are marked with arrows. The area inside the dashed lines indicates the anatomical section of 2D shape optimization. In-plane geometrical features of the LIMA graft were extracted from the CT image (right). In-plane optimization of the LIMA graft model was based on four design parameters; the proximal (θp) and distal (θd) anastomosis angles, proximal (vp) and distal curvature vectors (vd). Inlet and outlet boundary conditions are labeled on the 2D model plotted on the left
