Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical engineering technology, and in particular to a hemodynamic simulation analysis system for coronary stent implantation. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, hemodynamic simulation analysis methods have gradually attracted attention in the medical field. Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, researchers first reconstructed the patient's coronary artery three-dimensional geometric model by obtaining the patient's medical imaging data (such as CT or MRI), and simulated the blood flow inside and outside the stent under different stent implantation schemes by applying high-precision CFD technology.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The hemodynamic simulation and analysis system for coronary stent implantation proposed in the present invention is generally composed of a coronary vascular anatomical structure auxiliary design module, a coronary stent finite element model design module, a post-implantation hemodynamic simulation and analysis module, and a blood flow status evaluation module before and after implantation. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present application lies in that by acquiring the patient's coronary medical imaging data and using high-resolution imaging technology (such as coronary angiography, CT coronary imaging or MRI), medical personnel can clearly observe the anatomical structure of the patient's coronary artery. These imaging data provide the necessary basic information for subsequent analysis and processing. Accurate image data acquisition can also improve the effectiveness of processing and analysis in subsequent steps, reduce errors and deviations, and thus provide a reliable basis for clinical decision-making. Through the geometric analysis of the vascular anatomical structure of the patient's coronary medical imaging data, the geometric analysis is to extract the anatomical characteristics and geometric parameters of the coronary artery through in-depth analysis of the enhanced image data. This process not only involves the basic geometric characteristics of the blood vessels such as length, diameter and branch angle, but also can further analyze the curvature of the blood vessels, hemodynamic characteristics and their relationship with the surrounding tissues, which can help to more comprehensively understand the patient's coronary artery status, thereby providing a scientific basis for the subsequent vascular 3D modeling process. At the same time, by performing auxiliary design of the vascular 3D model based on the geometric feature set of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure, based on the geometric features extracted in the previous step, a patient-specific 3D coronary model is generated through computer modeling technology. This model can not only truly reflect the patient's coronary anatomical structure, but also can be used to simulate blood flow dynamics and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hemodynamic simulation after stent implantation. Secondly, by obtaining the geometric feature set of the coronary stent and its material properties, the geometric features usually include the diameter, length, shape, porosity, etc. of the stent, while the material properties involve the mechanical properties of the material used for the stent, such as elastic modulus, yield strength, fatigue limit and corrosiveness, etc. Accurately obtaining these data can not only ensure the authenticity of the finite element model construction, but also help predict the performance of the stent in the physiological environment. For example, by analyzing the impact of different geometric features on fluid dynamics, researchers can optimize the design of the stent to ensure its adaptability and effectiveness in the coronary artery.The corresponding coronary stent is also designed based on the coronary stent geometric feature set and the coronary stent material properties. This step can simulate and analyze its mechanical properties in practical applications by accurately modeling the stent geometry and corresponding characteristics. The finite element model provides a systematic method to describe and analyze complex structural characteristics, including local and overall stress distribution, deformation and fatigue behavior. The construction of the model must take into account the material properties and geometric complexity of the stent to ensure that the model truly reflects the physiological environment, and through further refinement, it can capture more complex physical phenomena, such as local stress concentration, material fatigue, etc. This refined design not only improves the accuracy of the stent finite element model, but also better reflects the interaction between the stent and the physiological environment in practical applications. Specifically, the refined design allows different material properties and geometric shapes to be accurately reflected in the model, making the simulation results more realistic. The refined model also provides reliable data support for the subsequent hemodynamic simulation and analysis process. Then, by obtaining the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation, the blood flow velocity distribution, blood flow pressure distribution, eddy intensity distribution and shear stress distribution can be analyzed in detail, and the dynamic characteristics of coronary blood flow can be fully understood. The blood flow velocity distribution can reflect the flow state of blood in the blood vessels and provide important information to identify possible blockages or eddy areas; the blood flow pressure distribution reveals the pressure changes at different locations in the blood vessels, which can help determine whether the blood vessels are at risk of stenosis or blockage; the eddy intensity distribution is a key factor in assessing the degree of blood flow disorder and can indicate areas of uneven blood flow; and the shear stress distribution is closely related to the physiological response of vascular endothelial cells and is an important indicator for judging vascular health. By integrating these hemodynamic characteristic parameters, a solid foundation can be laid for subsequent stent implantation and dynamic change analysis, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of subsequent steps, so as to better realize the simulation evaluation of dynamic characteristics such as blood flow velocity, pressure distribution and turbulence. By performing blood flow boundary restriction analysis on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation, this process involves combining the obtained blood flow characteristics with the individual physiological structure of the patient to generate more accurate coronary blood flow boundary conditions. The definition of boundary conditions has an important impact on the accuracy of the calculation model and the effectiveness of the simulation results. Through the boundary restriction analysis of blood flow, the flow state of blood in the coronary artery can be better simulated, ensuring that the calculation results reflect the real physiological situation, providing key input for subsequent dynamic change analysis, and enhancing the credibility and applicability of the simulation analysis process.The dynamic simulation analysis of coronary stent implantation is also carried out on the three-dimensional model of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure and the finite element model of the coronary stent based on the patient's coronary blood flow boundary conditions. The core of this step is to simulate and analyze the changes in blood flow after stent implantation and its impact on vascular health. By establishing a detailed simulation model, the distribution of blood flow after implantation can be predicted, including key parameters such as blood flow velocity, pressure, eddy current intensity, and shear stress. This analysis can not only reveal the short-term and long-term effects after stent implantation, but also help doctors judge the adaptability of the stent and its impact on patients, so as to more accurately reflect the impact of coronary stent implantation on blood flow status. Finally, the blood flow status before and after stent implantation is evaluated and analyzed by the hemodynamic simulation distribution field after stent implantation based on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation, so as to generate a simulation evaluation report of the blood flow status before and after stent implantation, which can provide systematic analysis results and data support for clinicians. These data can provide references for doctors in stent selection and postoperative management, and help formulate personalized plans. In addition, the detailed hemodynamic characteristics analysis in the report can help doctors better understand the postoperative blood flow status, identify possible complications early, and provide a scientific basis for subsequent decision support, thereby achieving a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of hemodynamic status after stent implantation.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hemodynamic simulation analysis system for coronary stent implantation according to the present invention. In this example, the hemodynamic simulation analysis system for coronary stent implantation includes the following modules: S1: A coronary vascular anatomical structure auxiliary design module, which is used to obtain the patient's coronary medical imaging data, and perform vascular anatomical structure geometric analysis on the patient's coronary medical imaging data to obtain the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure geometric feature set; perform vascular three-dimensional model auxiliary design based on the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure geometric feature set to generate a three-dimensional model of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure; In an embodiment of the present invention, high-quality images are acquired by scanning with medical imaging equipment. Common imaging equipment includes multi-row spiral CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. These equipment enhance the imaging effect of blood vessels by applying specific scanning protocols and combining the use of contrast agents. After the image acquisition is completed, the data is imported from the imaging equipment into the medical imaging processing system to ensure that the data format meets the subsequent processing requirements, thereby obtaining the patient's coronary medical imaging data. The image quality is improved and artifacts are reduced by performing image denoising on the acquired coronary medical image data of the patient. This process can utilize denoising techniques such as median filtering, Wiener filtering or wavelet transform. By selecting a suitable filter, the image data is processed to remove high-frequency noise and retain the main features of the image. The image contrast is enhanced by using histogram equalization technology or adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). The histogram features of the image are analyzed, and the image brightness and contrast parameters are adjusted to make the contrast between the blood vessels and the surrounding tissues more obvious. After contrast enhancement processing, the edges of the vascular structures in the image are clearer and the details are richer. At the same time, the geometric analysis of the vascular anatomical structure is performed to extract the geometric feature set of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure. This step first uses image segmentation technology, and uses a threshold method, a region growing method or a machine learning algorithm to effectively separate the blood vessels. Subsequently, by analyzing the extracted vascular contours, its geometric features, including the diameter, length, curvature and bifurcation angle of the blood vessels, are calculated to generate a detailed geometric feature set, thereby obtaining the geometric feature set of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure. Then, the 3D model of the blood vessels is assisted in design based on the set of geometric features of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure obtained from the previous statistical analysis. This step uses computer-aided design (CAD) software to input the geometric feature data obtained in the previous step into the system for 3D modeling. The 3D model is generated using modeling tools based on the shape, size, and position of the blood vessels. The model may include various branches of the coronary arteries and their characteristics. After the 3D model is completed, it is visualized through the software and combined with finite element analysis tools to evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics, ultimately generating a 3D model of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure.
[0021] S2: A coronary stent finite element model design module, which is used to obtain a coronary stent geometric feature set and coronary stent material properties, and to perform a stent finite element model design on the corresponding coronary stent based on the coronary stent geometric feature set and coronary stent material properties, so as to generate a coronary stent finite element model; In an embodiment of the present invention, by collecting the geometric feature set of the coronary stent, including the diameter, length, support structure, aperture and the angular relationship between the stent, etc., the stent can be three-dimensionally modeled using computer-aided design (CAD) software (such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD) to generate accurate geometric feature data. In addition, according to the characteristics of the selected material, the physical and mechanical parameters of the material need to be obtained, including elastic modulus, yield strength, tensile strength and Poisson's ratio, etc. These data can be obtained through laboratory testing, or by referring to standard values in existing literature, so as to obtain the coronary stent geometric feature set and the coronary stent material characteristics. By combining the previously obtained coronary stent geometric feature set with finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS or COMSOL Multiphysics) is used to set the geometric boundaries of the corresponding coronary stent. First, the three-dimensional model of the stent generated in the CAD software is imported, and the geometric boundary conditions of the stent are defined in the software, including the contact surface of the fixed stent and its contact interface with the surrounding tissue or blood vessel wall, and the corresponding constraints and loading conditions are set to form stable finite element geometric boundary conditions. After completing the geometric boundary setting, it is necessary to build a finite element model design framework for the coronary stent based on these boundary conditions, select a suitable meshing strategy, and mesh the stent according to the complexity of the model and the required analysis accuracy. High-quality hexahedral meshes or tetrahedral meshes can be used for meshing in order to capture the details of the stent structure, and combine the material properties with the geometric boundary conditions just set to form a complete finite element model design framework. At the same time, the pore and surface roughness constraint analysis of the corresponding coronary stent is carried out according to the material properties of the coronary stent, so as to use the finite element analysis software First, the porosity parameter is introduced into the stent model to simulate the influence of the tiny pores that may exist in the actual material on the mechanical properties. At the same time, the characteristics of the surface roughness are defined. By setting the roughness model (such as using Ra or Rz values), a certain roughness constraint is imposed on the contact surface between the stent and the inner wall of the blood vessel. Then, the finite element model design framework is refined by combining the constraints of pores and surface roughness obtained by combining the previous constraint analysis. In this process, the grid division is further optimized in combination with the constraints obtained in the previous steps to ensure that the grid density in the pore and roughness feature areas is high to improve the accuracy and stability of the calculation. At the same time, the parameter settings of the material model are adjusted to reflect the nonlinear and anisotropic characteristics of the material in actual applications. The solver is used for simulation calculations to analyze the hemodynamic characteristics, including flow velocity, pressure distribution, and shear stress, to evaluate the functional performance of the coronary stent after implantation and its impact on the surrounding blood flow, and finally a complete coronary stent finite element model is refined and generated.
[0022] S3: Post-implantation hemodynamic simulation analysis module, used to obtain the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation, and perform blood flow boundary restriction analysis on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation to generate the patient's coronary blood flow boundary conditions; based on the patient's coronary blood flow boundary conditions, perform coronary stent implantation dynamics simulation analysis on the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure three-dimensional model and the coronary stent finite element model to obtain the hemodynamic simulation distribution field after stent implantation; In an embodiment of the present invention, by adopting high-resolution medical imaging technology, such as CT angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient's coronary blood vessels are imaged to obtain accurate geometric structure data, and by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for simulation, boundary conditions are set and blood is regarded as an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid, and blood flow velocity, pressure, vortex intensity and shear stress are calculated by numerical methods (such as finite element method or finite volume method), and fluid dynamics equations (such as Navier-Stokes equations) are solved to obtain blood flow velocity distribution, pressure distribution, vortex intensity distribution and shear stress distribution before stent implantation, thereby obtaining a set of hemodynamic characteristic parameters before stent implantation, including blood flow velocity distribution before stent implantation, blood flow pressure distribution before stent implantation, vortex intensity distribution before stent implantation and shear stress distribution before stent implantation. By performing boundary condition analysis based on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation obtained from previous analysis, the flow boundary restriction analysis tool is used to define the no-slip condition of the blood vessel wall, the inlet flow condition and the outlet pressure condition to generate accurate blood flow boundary conditions, that is, the maximum and minimum values corresponding to the inlet velocity, flow stress and eddy distribution. The flow boundary conditions obtained from previous analysis are applied to the CFD software to perform dynamic flow analysis on the previously constructed three-dimensional model of the patient's coronary vascular anatomical structure. The previously generated blood flow boundary conditions are input, and the model is divided into small units using meshing technology to ensure the accuracy of fluid calculations. In the flow dynamic analysis, the flow of blood in the coronary artery is simulated by setting the time step, and the changes in the flow process, including the time series changes of the velocity field and the pressure field, are recorded. At the same time, by combining the previously constructed coronary stent The finite element model is coupled with the dynamic model of blood flow in the anatomical structure of the coronary artery to analyze the stent implantation in order to set the initial position and angle of the stent implantation. The dynamic response of the blood flow during the stent implantation process is analyzed by applying dynamic loads, and the force of the blood flow on the stent and the influence of the stent on the blood flow are simulated. Then, the hemodynamic response distribution field obtained by the previous response analysis is combined with the dynamic model of the blood flow in the anatomical structure of the coronary artery and the coronary stent implantation simulation process corresponding to the finite element model of the coronary stent to perform a simulation analysis of the hemodynamics after the stent implantation. The CFD software is used to further calculate the blood flow field after implantation, analyze the influence of the stent on the blood flow velocity, pressure and shear stress, and obtain the hemodynamic distribution of each part after the stent implantation by setting specific calculation areas and simulation parameters. Finally, the hemodynamic simulation distribution field after the stent implantation is obtained by simulation.
[0023] S4: A blood flow status evaluation module before and after implantation, which is used to evaluate and analyze the blood flow status before and after stent implantation based on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set before stent implantation and the hemodynamic simulation distribution field after stent implantation, so as to generate a blood flow status simulation evaluation report before and after stent implantation.
[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, such as ANSYS Fluent or COMSOL Multiphysics, a statistical analysis of the hemodynamic characteristics of the hemodynamic simulation distribution field after stent implantation generated by the previous simulation is performed to implant the stent model accordingly, adjust the contact relationship between the geometric parameters of the stent and the blood vessel wall, and set boundary conditions, including blood inflow velocity and pressure, etc., to perform numerical simulation calculations to obtain parameters such as blood flow velocity distribution, pressure distribution, eddy current intensity distribution, and shear stress distribution after stent implantation. By combining time parameters, blood flow velocity distribution after stent implantation, blood flow velocity distribution before stent implantation, blood flow pressure distribution after stent implantation, blood flow pressure distribution before stent implantation, eddy current intensity distribution after stent implantation, eddy current intensity distribution before stent implantation, shear stress distribution after stent implantation, shear stress distribution before stent implantation, and related parameters, a suitable dynamic evaluation calculation formula is formed to perform blood flow evaluation calculation on the hemodynamic characteristic parameter set after stent implantation. This step The core of this step is to compare the changes in parameters before and after, calculate the corresponding evaluation values, and conduct a detailed blood flow status evaluation and analysis after obtaining the dynamic state evaluation values. This process requires a systematic comparison and analysis of the evaluation values to extract key features, such as the percentage of change in blood flow velocity, the range of pressure changes, the increase or decrease in eddy current intensity, and the effect of shear stress on the inner wall of the blood vessel. By drawing comparison charts or data tables, the change trends before and after implantation are clearly presented, and professional chart software (such as Origin or Excel) is used for data visualization. At the same time, combined with clinical standards and data, a systematic simulation evaluation report is formed to describe in detail the impact of stent implantation on blood flow status, possible clinical significance and follow-up observation suggestions. The generated report provides a basis for clinical decision-making, ensuring that the blood flow status after stent implantation is effectively evaluated and monitored, and finally the corresponding blood flow status simulation evaluation report before and after stent implantation is generated.

This comprehensive analysis helps to fully understand the impact of stent implantation on blood flow characteristics and avoid one-sidedness. By introducing the time variable into the formula (for example, and ), which can dynamically capture the changes in blood flow characteristics, making the evaluation more accurate and able to reflect the hemodynamic changes before and after stent implantation. The formula calculates the evaluation value by integration ( ), which can provide a quantitative indicator to facilitate clinicians or researchers to compare and analyze the blood flow status before and after stent implantation. This quantitative method helps to clarify the effectiveness and safety of the stent. By analyzing the hemodynamic changes before and after stent implantation, adverse changes in blood flow (such as eddy currents, abnormal pressure distribution, etc.) can be found, thereby providing a basis for the optimization of stent design. This feedback mechanism can help develop coronary stents that are more in line with physiological needs.
