Background: Using the finishing coils to densely pack the aneurysm neck is necessary. However, the exact hemodynamic effect of finishing coils in packing the aneurysm neck is unknown. Objective: To evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of finishing coils to densely pack the aneurysm neck, using finite element method simulation. Methods: A computational study was performed based on a 44-year-old female patient with an unruptured wide-necked carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm treated with low-profile visualized intraluminal support stent-assisted coil embolization. Four computational fluid dynamics models including pre-treatment, post-stenting, common stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE), and common SACE with finishing coils were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: Compared with the baseline of pretreatment model (100%), sac-averaged velocity in post-stenting, common SACE, and common SACE with finishing coil models decreased to 95.68%, 24.38%, and 13.20%, respectively; high flow volume (>0.1 m/s) around the aneurysm neck decreased to 92.19%, 9.59%, and 5.57%, respectively; and mean wall shear stress increased or decreased to 107%, 25.94%, and 23.89%, respectively. Conclusion: Finishing coils to densely pack the aneurysm neck can generate favorable hemodynamic modifications, which may decrease the recurrence.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Aneurysm I: Introduction

An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Autoregulation of Blood Flow01:17

Autoregulation of Blood Flow

Autoregulation mechanisms are characterized by their inherent capacity for self-regulation without necessitating specific nervous stimulation or endocrine control. These mechanisms facilitate the adjustment of blood flow and, therefore, perfusion specific to each tissue region. This self-regulation encompasses chemical signals and myogenic controls.
Chemical Signaling in Autoregulation
Chemical signaling operates at the precapillary sphincter level, inciting either contraction or relaxation....

Vascular Spasm01:16

Vascular Spasm

The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last...
