Microstructured Thin Film Nitinol for a Neurovascular Flow-Diverter [PDF]

, 2016
A cerebral aneurysm occurs as a result of a weakened blood vessel, which allows blood to flow into a sac or a ballooned section. Recent advancement shows that a new device, ‘flow-diverter’, can divert blood flow away from the aneurysm sac.
