Development of a computational aspiration thrombectomy model: Application of a two-phase flow approach to describe thrombus behavior

Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is an abrupt onset of a focal neurological deficit due to the occlusion of a cerebral artery caused by thrombosis or embolism. According to the World Health Organization, stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world. One of the available treatments is the aspiration thrombectomy, where a negative pressure...
