Abstract

BACKGROUND: Giant aneurysms at carotid arteries are typically treated with flow diverter (FD) stents in the clinic. Although the goal of an FD stent is to direct most of the blood flow into the main artery, not much is known regarding the effects of wire number an FD possesses on the hemodynamics inside the aneurysm.
