In  vitro digital subtraction angiographic evaluation of flow diverters in a patient-specific aneurysm.

Conclusions In our in vitro angiographic study, flow jet is influenced by the wire number in a device qualitatively; quantitatively, intra-aneurysmal flow is affected by both the porosity and pore density. A 2.5 mm device performs better in flow diversion of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm than a 3 mm device with the same wire size and wire number, but thicker wires do not lead to better flow diversion.
