The Effect of Hematocrit and Nanoparticles Diameter on Hemodynamic Parameters and Drug Delivery in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Consideration of Blood Pulsatile Flow.

Background And Objective: The present article has simulated to investigate the efficient hemodynamic parameters, the drug persistence, and drug distribution on an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Methods: Blood as a non-Newtonian fluid enters the artery acting as a real pulse waveform; its behavior is dependent on hematocrit and strain rate. In this simulation of computational fluid dynamic, magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide which were in advance coated with the drug, are injected into the artery during a cardiac cycle.
