Suction force-suction distance relation during aspiration thrombectomy for ischemic stroke: A computational fluid dynamics study

Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is the major type of stroke occurring in patients. Aspiration thrombectomy, which uses suction to remove the thrombosis, is a promising technique in the clinical treatment of AIS patients. In this research a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to mod...
