Abstract

: Over the last decade, advances in medical imaging have led to a 75% increase in early diagnosis of cerebral aneurysms (CAs) along with a growing arsenal of medical devices that can now treat a wider range of CA cases. Endovascular treatment planning has shown limited progress. Current treatment planning is driven by prior training, convention and experience. Despite the best of plans, the process can involve an element of trial and error during treatment that increases procedural time, treatment costs, and the risk of procedural complications. Further, treatment planning can be unsuccessful in many cases with recurrence rates as high as 21.9% and retreatment rates of 11.0%. Therefore, there is a critical need to improve endovascular treatment planning. Here we present a novel simulation algorithm that enhances clinical capabilities for personalised pre-surgical treatment planning. In the first step of the algorithm, a computational anatomy is generated from MR or CT image data. Next, the computational anatomy is used to simulate treatment using novel device-specific finite element (FE) models that consider the structural properties of the treatment device, its mechanics, and the clinical deployment strategy. Changes in blood flow are then simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Lastly, mechanical and fluid dynamic simulation results are used to evaluate the outcomes of different treatment options. The simulation algorithm was validated against in-vitro deployments of embolic coils, stents, and the Pipeline embolization device in 3 idealised and 2 anatomical CA models. Results showed excellent agreement between FE device simulations and physical device deployments. Fluid dynamics were also compared between CFD simulations and in-vitro flow velocity and pressure measurements in the treated CA models. Results showed good agreement in mean aneurysmal velocity magnitude and intra-aneurysmal pressure. Detailed 3D structural validations against microCT data will also be presented. The value of the simulation algorithm for treatment planning is demonstrated for 3 patient cases. In case 1, stent-assisted coiling (Figure 1a) and flow diverter treatment options (Figure 1b) are evaluated for a wide-neck posterior communicating artery (PCA) aneurysm (Figure 1). In case 2, the simulation algorithm is used to predict changes in fluid dynamics after 12 coil deployments in a large basilar-tip aneurysm. Clinical and simulations results of that case showed a persisting flow jet into the aneurysmal sac after treatment. In case 3, the simulation algorithm is used to compare stent-assisted coiling and coiling-alone in a basilar tip aneurysm. neurintsurg;6/Suppl_1/A67-a/F1F1F1 Abstract E-061 Figure 1 DISCLOSURES: B.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2014.
All research outputs
#12,609,232
of 22,760,687 outputs
Outputs from Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
#1,483
of 2,343 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#101,002
of 229,485 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
#8
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,760,687 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,343 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 229,485 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
