Cross-sectional planes traversing the main, right and left pulmonary artery and the locations of the pulmonary trunk, proximal RPA and proximal LPA. a Cross-sectional planes traversing the main, right and left pulmonary artery. All cross-sectional planes were placed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pulmonary artery. Each cut plane was placed immediately downstream of the pulmonary valve cusps or the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery. b, c The locations of the pulmonary trunk (b), proximal RPA and proximal LPA (c), in which wall shear stress values were calculated.
