Medical Problems during Participation of Medical Congress - A Long Trip to Val D'Isere from Korea.

Since the 3rd WIN meeting in 1982 more than 500 participants join the meeting in Val D'Isere every year [1]. One of our authors has attended the meeting more than 10 times. He experienced many physical illnesses while travelling from South Korea to Val D'Isere in France, which is located in the Alps mountain near the border between France and Italy.

Virtual stenting of intracranial aneurysms: application of hemodynamic modification analysis.

Background: Practical application of hemodynamic modification analysis based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in intracranial aneurysms is still under study.

Purpose: To determine the clinical applicability of virtual stenting of aneurysms by comparing the simulated results with clinical outcome of real stenting.

Material And Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images were imported to a dedicated integrated prototypic CFD platform (Siemens Healthcare GmbH) which allows all necessary steps of 3D models for CFD analysis.
