In vitro simulator with numerical stress analysis for evaluation of stent‐assisted coiling embolization in cerebral aneurysm treatments

There are several complications associated with Stent‐assisted Coil Embolization (SACE) in cerebral aneurysm treatments, due to damaging operations by surgeons and undesirable mechanical properties of stents. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an in vitro simulator that provides both training and research for evaluating the mechanical properties of stents.
