  1. Design of a Steerable CatheterSteeratheter Cherry R. Abenojar Eric D. Benson Dr. Theodore Larson, Project Advisor

  2. Project Definition • The goal of this project is to research carotid rheology and design, simulate, and model a steerable catheter that would allow surgeons to obtain easier access through the carotid artery.

  3. Objectives • Conduct a literature review pertaining to blood flow parameters • Derive and manipulate mathematical equations that model carotid blood flow • Design various types of catheter tips • Simulate all designs • Model the most optimal design

  4. Work Completed • Reviewed articles concerning blood flow through the carotid artery • Discovered relevant blood flow parameters and mathematical models of the carotid

  5. Current Status • Researching current catheter designs • Searching for simulation software

  6. Future Work • Meet with project advisor concerning mathematical modelization • Initiate design of various catheter tips • Simulate designs
