Development of a computational thrombus model using finite element software LS-DYNA

An acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and is caused by a thrombus that occludes a cerebral artery. This thrombus reduces the cerebral blood flow and causes irreversible brain tissue damage. Mechanical thrombectomy is a safe and effective technique to remove the thrombus from the cerebral arteries and restore the brain's...
