Systems and methods provide a novel computational approach to planning the
endovascular treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, the invention simulates
medical device deployment and hemodynamic outcomes using a
virtual patient-specific anatomical model of the area to be treated, high-fidelity finite element
medical device models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In an embodiment, the described approach investigates the effects of coil packing density, coil shape, aneurysmal neck size and
parent vessel flow rate on aneurysmal
hemodynamics. A processor may receive patient clinical data used to construct the relevant anatomical structure model. The processor may access
medical device models constructed using finite
element analysis and
three dimensional beam analysis, and simulates the deployment of selected medical devices in the anatomical structure model. The selected medical device models and the anatomical structure model mesh, allowing the processor to simulate hemodynamic outcomes using computational fluid dynamics.
