Thrombosis Engineering in Intracranial Aneurysms Using a Lattice BoltzmannNumerical Method

摘要

Numerical modeling of thrombogenesis in intracranial aneurysms (Fig. 1) is important from both the fundamental and clinical point of views. Fundamentally, it will help in explaining why spontaneous thrombosis often occurs in unruptured giant aneurysms and rarely in smaller ones. Clinically, it will provide an assessment tool for the clotting capability of flow-diverter stents deployed within theintracranial arterial structures.
