Brain Aneurysms: A Self-Healing Mystery
Manage episode 445363609 series 3608409
Welcome to Insilico Trials Real Impact, the podcast that's transforming our understanding of medical innovation.
This episode explores a medical phenomenon that sounds like science fiction: the possibility of brain aneurysms healing themselves through a process known as spontaneous thrombosis. We examine a groundbreaking study that uses advanced computer modeling to simulate blood flow in virtual patients, shedding light on how aneurysms may naturally seal off through clotting.
Listeners will learn about the factors influencing this self-repair mechanism, such as aneurysm size, shape, and blood pressure. Discover how these insights challenge traditional treatment approaches and open up the potential for leveraging the brain's natural healing abilities.
Join us as we uncover the complexities and potential future of treating aneurysms, highlighting the incredible capabilities of the human body and the promise of personalised medicine. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how in silico methods are driving real breakthroughs in patient care.
