Flow diagram showing the steps used in the Targeted Outflow Compliance Approach from the time the STL is imported into Meshmixer to the completion of the segmentation process. (a) Initial STL imported from Vitrea (b) Removing smaller vessel branches, sculpting and smoothing (c) Outlets extended by adding tubing to each branch and pressure sensor port appendage both proximal and distal to the atherosclerotic region. (d)Make solid with 2 mm offset distance. (e)Support appended. (f) 3D printed model.
