"Virtual stent" - clinical evaluation and user experience of on-the-fly stent simulation in treatment of cerebral aneurysms.

Basic stent simulation tools available with genuine angiographic workplace software can provide good simulation capabilities without need for third-party equipment. They can facilitate treatment planning and help to avoid shortage of devices. Yet, lack of calculation of foreshortening in large vessel diameters leaves the user to rely on their experience to account for device-specific properties.
