Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool that provides highly
resolved haemodynamics information. The choice of blood rheology is an assumption in …

Thrombus formation in intracranial aneurysms, while sometimes stabilizing lesion growth,
can present additional risk of thrombo-embolism. The role of hemodynamics in the …

BACKGROUND: Many significant microsurgical series of patients with giant aneurysms
predate changes in practice during the endovascular era. OBJECTIVE: A contemporary …

We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific
modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue …
