  1. Vascular parameter degrees were valuated at points (β', γ', and Δ') and immediately after (β, γ, and Δ) vessels bifurcation.
  2. The values are expressed as harmonic mean with the 25° and 75° percentile since all values did not display a Gaussian distribution (P > 0.05).
  3. β, β' = area ratio; γ, γ' = asymmetry ratio; Δ, Δ' = bifurcation exponent.
