Background: The objective of our project was to identify a late recanalization predictor in ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with coil embolization. This goal was achieved by means of a statistical analysis followed by a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with porous media modelling approach. Porous media CFD simulated the hemodynamics within the aneurysmal dome after coiling. Methods: Firstly, a retrospective single center analysis of 66 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients was conducted. The authors assessed morphometric parameters, packing density, first coil volume packing density (1st VPD) and recanalization rate on digital subtraction angiograms (DSA). The effectiveness of initial endovascular treatment was visually determined using the modified Raymond–Roy classification directly after the embolization and in a 6- and 12-month follow-up DSA. In the next step, a comparison between porous media CFD analyses and our statistical results was performed. A geometry used during numerical simulations based on a patient-specific anatomy, where the aneurysm dome was modelled as a separate, porous domain. To evaluate hemodynamic changes, CFD was utilized for a control case (without any porosity) and for a wide range of porosities that resembled 1–30% of VPD. Numerical analyses were performed in Ansys CFX solver. Results: A multivariate analysis showed that 1st VPD affected the late recanalization rate (p < 0.001). Its value was significantly greater in all patients without recanalization (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curves governed by the univariate analysis showed that the model for late recanalization prediction based on 1st VPD (AUC 0.94 (95%CI: 0.86–1.00) is the most important predictor of late recanalization (p < 0.001). A cut-off point of 10.56% (sensitivity—0.722; specificity—0.979) was confirmed as optimal in a computational fluid dynamics analysis. The CFD results indicate that pressure at the aneurysm wall and residual flow volume (blood volume with mean fluid velocity > 0.01 m/s) within the aneurysmal dome tended to asymptotically decrease when VPD exceeded 10%. Conclusions: High 1st VPD decreases the late recanalization rate in ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with coil embolization (according to our statistical results > 10.56%). We present an easy intraoperatively calculable predictor which has the potential to be used in clinical practice as a tip to improve clinical outcomes.

Microscopic models of real-coded lattice gas automata (RLG) method with a special boundary condition and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are developed for simulating three-dimensional fluid dynamics in complex geometry. Those models enable us to simulate pore-scale fluid dynamics that is an essential part for predicting material transport in porous media precisely. For large-scale simulation of porous media with high resolution, the RLG and LBM programs are designed for parallel computation. Simulation results of porous media flow by the LBM with different pressure gradient conditions show quantitative agreements with macroscopic relations of Darcy’s law and Kozeny-Carman equation. As for the efficiency of parallel computing, a standard parallel computation by using MPI (Message Passing Interface) is compared with the hybrid parallel computation of MPI-node parallel technique. The benchmark tests conclude that in case of using large number of computing node, the parallel performance declines due to increase of data communication between nodes and the hybrid parallel computation totally shows better performance in comparison with the standard parallel computation.
