Industry-in-Clinic Model Project: “Simulation-based optimization of flow-diverters for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms" (SOFINA)

After the successful funding start of the industry-in-clinic platform "mediMESH", which was founded at the Research Campus STIMULATE, the associated model project SOFINA was approved for April 1, 2023. The funding by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is granted for a period of three years, the total funding amounts to 1.3 million euros.

The goal of the project is to explore ways to optimize the fluid dynamic treatment of intracranial aneurysms with neurovascular stents (so-called flow-diverters) in order to shorten the occlusion time (occlusion), reduce the need for follow-up treatments, and reduce the risk of ruptures in the vessel wall (ruptures). This highly interdisciplinary project is coordinated by STIMULATE association member Acandis GmbH. Project partners are the University Department of Neuroradiology (Prof. Behme), the Institute of Mechanics (Prof. Juhre), and the Chair of Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics (Prof. Janiga) of the University of Magdeburg as well as the STIMULATE research groups Image Processing (Prof. Saalfeld) and Medical Flows (PD Berg). The project is extensively supported by mediMESH GmbH.
