A Computational Framework for Pre-Interventional Planning of Peripheral Arteriovenous Malformations.

The study demonstrates that the haemodynamic effects of the embolisation procedure can be simulated from routinely acquired clinical data via a porous medium with varying permeability as evidenced by the good qualitative agreement between numerical predictions and both in vivo and in vitro data. It provides a fundamental building block towards a computational treatment-planning framework for AVM embolisation.
