Blood flow simulation can be used for post-operational evaluation of a stent placement as well as for investigation of initiation and growth of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Since the brain hemorrhage may occurs by hyper perfusion syndrome after the stent placement, it is important to simulate post-surgery conditions.
The paper presents 1D-0D multi-scale simulation taking account of the entire circulatory system and its visualization. For patient-specific simulation, using blood vessel shape extracted by medical image and peripheral resistance estimated by measured flow rate. The simulations are conducted for a patient who had stent placement. The result show that the blood flow increase in cerebral circulation.
