Resumen:
Computational algorithms modeling the insertion
of endovascular devices, such as coil or stents, have gained an
increasing interest in recent years. This scientific enthusiasm is
due to the potential impact that these techniques have to support
clinicians by understanding the intravascular hemodynamics and
predicting treatment outcomes. In this work, a virtual coiling
technique for treating image-based aneurysm models is proposed.
A dynamic path planning was used to mimic the structure and
distribution of the coils inside aneurysm cavities, and to reach
high packing densities, which is desirable by clinicians when
treating with coils. Several test were done to see the performance
on idealized and image-based aneurysm models. Afterwards, the
proposed technique was validated using clinical information of
real coiled aneurysms. The virtual coiling technique reproduces
the macroscopic behavior of inserted coils and properly captures
the densities, shapes and coil distributions inside aneurysm
cavities. A practical application was performed by assessing
the local hemodynamic after coiling using computational fluid
dynamics. Wall shear stress and intra-aneurysmal velocities were
reduced after coiling. Additionally, CFD simulations show that
coils decrease the amount of contrast entering the aneurysm and
increase its residence time.
