Summary:
Ruptured saccular aneurysms were severe condition for intracerebral Condition. And the cause for their rupture is not yet clear. In this study (I), since the configurations of aneurysms are considered to be a factor for the rupture of aneurysms, several shapes has been modeled using Aspect ratio AR and inclination angle of saccular aneurysms. In vitro the parametric study has been conducted on the range of Reynolds Number in human blood flow for aneurismal models of AR=2.1 and 1.3 and q=90 degrees and 70 degrees , As results, it was con firme d that there are characteristic flow patterns with Reynolds Number, And that the aneurismal configuration has effects on the shear stress and pressure losses. II) The object of this paper is to study the effects of STENTS.We made the model of aneurysm and performed in vitro study in range of Reynolds number of human blood flows using three kinds of STENTS. As results, it was confirmed that flow pattern and pressure loss changes with the kinds of STENTS. This study aims the accumulation of data to predict the hazard of aneurysmal rupture by their shapes and STENTS.
