Flow Diverters for Intracranial Aneurysms

Figure 1

Computational fluid dynamics simulation based on micro-CT metal coverage measurement with in vivo flow diverter deployment. Inflow stream of the aneurysm sac and streamlines in <35% metal coverage ((a) and (b)) and >35% metal coverage ((c) and (d)) situations demonstrating lower mean inflow velocity with high metal coverage.
