1125 Inflow Rate into Cerebral Aneurysms in Curved Arteries
Details
This paper focuses on inflow into an aneurysm from its parent artery. Understandings of the inflow are required in designing endovascular devices such as coils and stents. A parametric computational fluid dynamics study of the inflow is performed for saccular cerebral aneurysms at a variety of arterial bends. Numerical results show that the inflow rate is strongly influenced by parent arterial geometry because secondary flow momentum in the parent artery determines the inflow. We also present that the shape of an aneurysm little affects the inflow rate.
