초록

We performed numerical simulations of blood flow in an arterial cerebral artery aneurysm to investigate the hemodynamic behavior after coil embolization. A patient-specific model was created based on CTA data. We also conducted the coil embolization simulation to obtain the coil placement within the aneurysm. Blood was assumed to be an incompressible Newtonian fluid, and both the vessel and coil were considered rigid walls. The pulsatile boundary condition was applied at the inlet, and the outflow boundary conditions were used at the outlets. Our findings demonstrated that the coil embolization significantly reduces the blood volume flowrate entering the aneurysm by effectively blocking the inflow jet, leading to a decrease in both TAWSS and WSS, especially at the systolic peak in the impingement zone. While several high OSI regions disappeared over the aneurysm surface, we observed high OSI regions with a relatively small area where the coil did not completely occlude the aneurysm. Overall, these results quantitatively analyzed the effectiveness of coil embolization by focusing on hemodynamic indicators, potentially preventing aneurysm rupture. The present work could contribute to the development of patient-specific coil embolization.
