Abstract:

The porosity of intraluminal thrombus will be examined in this study, and the results will be compared to those of solid intraluminal thrombus. Two three-dimensional models were used in this investigation. The first used poroelastic material, and the second used solid material. The findings of the present study revealed that the difference in wall stresses gained from the three situations is negligible (about 2.2%) based on the two models examined. The distribution of wall stress and the position of greatest stress remain unchanged. In summary, if maximal wall stresses are needed, the porosity of intraluminal thrombus may be ignored because there is little effect of using porous media for intraluminal thrombus on the maximum value and distribution of wall stresses.
