The pressure drop along the branch PAs versus time curves for the subjects. The average pressure drop in the branch PAs for the patient was larger than the control, -1.3 mmHg/s and −0.2 mmHg/s, for the RPA and LPA, respectively. Whereas, the pressure drop along the branch PAs for the control was minimal. The enlarged image of a part of the pressure drop curves for the control is presented.
