Flow diversion via Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) represents the most recent advancement in endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms. This exploratory study aims at a proof concept for an advanced device-modeling tool conjunction with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate flow modification effects by PED actual, treated cases.The authors performed modeling 3 PED-treated complex aneurysm cases. The patient Case 1 had fusiform vertebral single PED. In 2 giant internal...

Locally compacting the mesh of a flow diverter by dynamic push-pull technique can accelerate intracranial aneurysm healing. We asked how this deployment strategy compares with overlapping 2 diverters for aneurysmal reduction.Using high-fidelity virtual stent placement method, we simulated 3 flow-diverter strategies (single noncompacted, overlapped, and single compacted) in aneurysms (fusiform, large saccular, medium saccular). Computational fluid dynamics analysis provided posttreatment...

Recurrence of intracranial aneurysms after endovascular coiling is a serious clinical concern.We hypothesized that recurrence associated with aneurysm morphology and flow, as well the coil intervention induced flow modifications.We collected 52 primary-coiling cases were either occluded (n=34) or recurrent (n=18) at >1 year follow-up. We created models from pre-coiling digital subtraction angiographic images, calculated morphology, simulated hemodynamics, modeled deployment, obtained...

Inadequate sleep has been associated with an increased risk of mortality and various health issues. We previously conducted a placebo-controlled vaccination trial healthy adults who were monitored by blood samples, questionnaires, wearable devices. C-reactive protein (CRP), systemic marker inflammation, linked to numerous outcomes, was found significantly increase post-vaccination in the trial. In this retrospective study, we investigated that if inflammation response triggered perturbations...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool to aid in clinical diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases. However, it uses assumptions that simplify the complexities real flow. Due high-stakes setting, critical calculate effect these CFD simulation results. existing validation approaches do not quantify error results due solver's modeling assumptions. Instead, they directly compare against data. Thus, accuracy solver, we developed methodology calculates model (arising from...

Treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) has been revolutionized by the advent endovascular Flow Diverters (FDs), which disrupt blood flow within aneurysm to induce pro-thrombotic conditions, and serves as a scaffold for endothelial ingrowth arterial remodeling. Despite good clinical success FDs, complications like incomplete occlusion post-treatment rupture leading subarachnoid hemorrhage have reported. In silico computational fluid dynamic analysis pre- post-treated geometries IA patients...

Incompletely occluded flow diverter treated aneurysms remain at risk of rupture and thromboembolic complications. Our aim was to identify the potential for incomplete occlusion intracranial by diverters. We investigated whether aneurysm ostium size in relation parent artery affects angiographic outcomes diverter-treated sidewall aneurysms.Flow were divided into "occluded" "residual" (incomplete occlusion) groups based on 6-month follow-up. calculated ratio, a new parameter defined as surface...

Background Computer modeling of endovascular coiling intervention for intracranial aneurysm could enable a priori patient-specific treatment evaluation. To that end, we previously developed finite element method (FEM) technique, which incorporated simplified assumptions. improve accuracy in capturing real-life coiling, aimed to enhance the strategies and experimentally test whether improvements lead more accurate simulations. Methods We modeled coils using pre-shape based on mathematical...

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) by flow diverter (FD) stents depends on modification. Patient-specific modeling FD deployment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) could enable a priori endovascular strategy optimization. We developed fast, simplistic, expansion-free balls-weeping algorithm to model FDs in patientspecific aneurysm geometry. However, since such strong simplification result less accurate simulations, we also fast virtual stenting workflow (VSW) that...

Enodvascular coils treat intracranial aneurysms (IAs) by causing them to occlude thrombosis. Ideally, coiled IAs eventually in the long-term. However, 20.8% are found incompletely occluded at treatment follow-up. Computer simulations of coiling and its effect on aneurysmal flow could help clinicians predict outcomes a priori, but it requires accurate modeling their deployment procedure. In addition being accurate, must be efficient used as bedside tool. To date, several virtual techniques...
