Combinational Optimization of Strut Placement for Intracranial Stent Using a Realistic Aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stent insertion for cerebral aneurysm has been studied using ideal and realistic aneurysms in recent years. Stent insertion aims at reducing the flow in an aneurysm. To minimize the average velocity in an aneurysm, we applied optimization to the strut position in a realistic aneurysm based on computational fluid dynamics. The result shows the effect on velocity reduction of strut placement in the inflow area.

Flow changes caused by the sequential placement of stents across the neck of sidewall cerebral aneurysms.
OBJECT The goal of this study was to quantify the reduction in velocity, vorticity, and shear stresses resulting from the sequential placement of stents across the neck of sidewall cerebral aneurysms. METHODS A digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) system was used to measure the pulsatile velocity field within a flexible silicone sidewall intracranial aneurysm model and at the aneurysm ne...

The analysis of a flow pattern in cerebral aneurysms and the effect of strut shapes and stent porosity in 2D and 3D model are presented in this paper. The efficiency of a stent is related to several parameters, including porosity and stent strut shapes. The goal of this paper is to identify numerically how the stent strut shape and the porosity affect the hemodynamics properties of the flow ins...

This work presents new fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models in both 2D and 3D of the effect of using vascular stents as treatment of cerebral berry aneurysms. The stent is positioned inside the cerebral artery covering the neck of the aneurysm. The stent is expected to alter the blood flow into the aneurysm such that the blood coagulates due to low blood velocity, and rupture of the aneurys...
متن کاملStent-Assisted Clip Placement for Complex Internal Carotid Artery Intracranial Aneurysms.
BACKGROUND We report two procedures using a stent-assisted microsurgical clip placement to treat complex intracranial aneurysms originating from supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery. CASE DESCRIPTIONS In both procedures, primary clip placement was considered technically difficult due to either complex morphology or inferior protrusion of aneurysm fundus within the interclinoid ...
