The application of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) enables a holistic analysis of structural and fluid domains in a system. Using MRI and CT images facilitates the generation of patient-specific models for detailed hemodynamic analyses, making it an indispensable tool to understand vasculature characteristics within the human body. Our PubMed search shows extensive literature backing FSI for modeling vasculature and predicting aneurysm outcomes. The review examined 20 FSI-related articles on vascular modeling and 57 articles discussing its role in creating predictive models for aneurysms. These findings emphasize the advantages of using FSI techniques when analyzing intricate vascular systems with associated pathologies. The utilization of FSI research is gaining significance in medical diagnostics. Technological progress has enabled the measurement of wall shear stress and hemodynamic risk indexes, thereby aiding treatment decisions and enhancing patient outcomes. The application of FSI in modeling blood vessels is an advantageous tool for comprehending and treating brain and aortic aneurysms. Integrating FSI into treatments, like stents, presents therapeutic benefits that underscore its potential in managing degenerative vascular conditions. These discoveries indicate the significance of further exploring FSI as a viable approach to augmenting treatment options for patients with vascular diseases.
