P.G Albal**,  T Montidoro, O Dur, P.G Menon ,"Patient-Specific Hemodynamic evaluation of an Aortic Coarctation under Rest and Stress conditions." 2013 International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart at the 16th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), Nagoya, Japan. 26 September 2013.           
(E-poster presentation. Paper to be published in Springer LNCS).

This manuscript presents the results for computational modeling of blood flow within a patient-specific pediatric coarctation of aorta model, as obtained using three different solvers spanning the three most popular solution strategies known in the art viz. Finite Element (FEM), Finite Volume (FVM) and Finite Difference (FDM) methods.  Results in terms of pressure and velocity calculations are compared to establish inter-solver variability.  To our knowledge, this is the first time that three different solvers are compared head-to-head with respect to a real clinical scenario to establish the incremental hemodynamic effects of pharmacological stress on the flow across the coarctation of aorta.  The reported good inter-solver agreement as well as the detailed best-practices / strategies elucidated in the paper for obtaining accurate solutions in complex cardiovascular anatomies simulated under pulsatile blood flow conditions, is of high relevance for the community.
