Stent Configurations And Its Effectiveness In Renal Artery Aneurysm

Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a disease in which the renal artery is dilated at a particular point. Endovascular, a treatment for aneurysm by inserting a stent (or flow diverter (FD)) in the aneurysm effected artery is the preferable choice today. In the hemodynamic study, the focus on RAA study is...

Stent Configurations And Its Effectiveness In Renal Artery Aneurysm
description Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a disease in which the renal artery is dilated at a particular point. Endovascular, a treatment for aneurysm by inserting a stent (or flow diverter (FD)) in the aneurysm effected artery is the preferable choice today.

In this thesis, FSI simulations and PIV experimental work of RAA condition for different configurations of FD were conducted to study its effectiveness in treating RAA. Flow patterns, wall shear stress (WSS), deformation and von Mises stress parameters were analysed. The FD configurations were divided into two: (1) different porosity (65% to 80%); (2) different thickness (0.05 mm to 0.09 mm).
