A comparative study of CFD of canine model of common carotid fusiform aneurysm and vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysm in human patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The canine fusiform aneurysm model exhibits high similarity in morphology and hemodynamics with human patients'. Therefore, this model can be used to study the fluid-solid interaction in the aneurysm and to explore the underlying mechanisms of the development, rupture and occurrence of IFAs, which offers a pathophysiological tool to seek better treatments of IFAs.
