Problem
Flow diverter planning often relies on virtual deployment methods that capture geometry but not validated device mechanics. This project develops a deployment model that preserves physically meaningful braid behavior.
Approach
- Build a spring-mass representation of braided flow-diverter devices.
- Calibrate force response against experimental measurements from real devices.
- Simulate deployment maneuvers including push-pull effects.
- Quantify apposition and expansion behavior in patient-specific vessel geometries.
Key finding
The method reproduces key mechanical deployment responses while retaining practical flexibility for treatment scenario exploration.
Why it matters
Mechanically faithful virtual deployment reduces uncertainty in simulated post-treatment hemodynamics and supports safer intervention planning.
