Abstract
The simulation of blood hemodynamics inside the MCA aneurysm is done to investigate the potential region for rupture and hemorrhage. The main focus of this work is to disclose the impacts of endovascular coiling on blood hemodynamics and the risk of aneurysm rupture. Navier-stokes equations are solved for the computational study of blood flow while it is assumed that flow remains laminar, unsteady, and non-Newtonian. Influences of blood hematocrits and coiling porosity are also examined in this work. Obtained results show that impacts of blood hematocrit on the maximum OSI are limited in the MCA case.
