Cfd For Evaluation And Treatment Planning Of Aneurysms: Review Of Proposed Clinical Uses And Their Challenges, Bong Jae Chung, Juan Raul Cebral

Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used for several years to identify mechanical risk factors associated with aneurysmal evolution and rupture as well as to understand flow characteristics before and after surgical treatments in order to help the clinical decision making process. We used the keywords, “CFD” and “aneurysms” to search recent publications since about 2000, and categorized them into (i) studies of rupture risk factors and (ii) investigations of pre- and post-evaluations of surgical treatment with devices like coils and flow diverters (FD). This search enables us to examine the current status of CFD as a clinical tool and …
