Abstract
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a mechanical engineering branch for analyzing fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated phenomena using computer-based simulations. When the bypass for Moyamoya disease (MMD) is done, cerebral vessel remodeling starts. Such autoremodeling occurs in the first few weeks and even months after surgery and may impact the final outcome. The deployment of CFD technology in MMD has been attempted recently, as these hemodynamic parameters have been suggested to help clinicians unravel the disease pathogenesis and plan surgical intervention in MMD patients. Our group evaluated the characteristic vessel remodeling for both bypass and the internal carotid artery in MMD using CFD.
