Porous media properties of reticulated shape memory polymer foams and mock embolic coils for aneurysm treatment

BACKGROUND: Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams are being investigated as an alternative aneurysm treatment method to embolic coils. The goal of both techniques is the reduction of blood flow into the aneurysm and the subsequent formation of a stable thrombus, which prevents future aneurysm rupture. Th...
