As our study focused on examining hemodynamic implications in aneurysms with variation in pore orientation without changing the pore area, we chose a side wall aneurysm along a straight vessel
Summary
Background and PurposeA cerebral aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge (weak area) in an artery wall. Research studies and experiments [1,2,3,4] have been previously conducted and observed the impact of flow diverters to alter the hemodynamic within the aneurysm. These studies have focused primarily on the metal coverage ratio or pore size. It is evident from these studies that smaller pore size or increased metal coverage provides effective flow disruption, and can heal the aneurysm. The objective of the current study is intended to identify the approximate pore size that effectively reduces the flow into aneurysm
