The treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms (IA) with Flow Diverter (FD) stents is becoming more common every day. Therefore, there is a need for understanding their behavior in a predictive way. This paper presents the implementation and the application of a Lattice-Boltzman porous media model previously described, for modeling cerebro- vascular Flow Diverter devices stents. Numerical experiments where prepared using a Finite Volume software and used to adjust the numerical parameters of the LBM model. Preliminary results show good agreement between both models.
