摘要

Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a promising method to improve the therapy efficiency for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancers. In MDT, therapeutic agents are bonded to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) cores and then are guided toward the damaged tissue through a magnetic field. Fundamentally, it's vital to steer the SPIONs to the desired location to increase the capture efficiency at the target lesion. Hence, the present study aims to enhance the drug delivery to the desired branch in a carotid bifurcation. Besides, it is tried to decrement the particles' entry to the unwanted outlet by using four different magnet configurations (with a maximum magnetic flux density of 0.4 T) implanted adjacent to the artery wall. Also, the effect of particles' diameter -ranging from 200 nm to 2 µm- on the drug delivery performance is studied in the four cases.The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with one-way coupling is employed for numerical simulation of the problem using the finite element method (FEM). The dominant forces acting on particles are drag and magnetophoretic. A computed tomography (CT) model of the carotid bifurcation is adopted to have a 3D realistic geometry. The blood flow is considered to be laminar, incompressible, pulsatile, and non-Newtonian. Boundary conditions are applied using the three-element Windkessel equation.Results are presented in terms of velocity, pressure, magnetic field flux density, wall shear stress, and streamlines. Also, the number of particles in each direction is presented for the four studied cases. The results show that using proper magnets configurations makes it possible to guide more particles to the desired branch (up to 4%) while preventing particles from entering the unwanted branch (up to 13%). By defining connectivity between oscillatory shear index (OSI) value and magnetic drug delivery efficacy, it becomes clear that places with lower OSI values are more proper to place the magnets than areas with higher OSI values.It was observed that increasing the diameter of particles does not necessarily result in a higher drug delivery efficiency. The configuration of the magnets and the size of particles are the main affecting parameters that should be chosen precisely to meet the most efficient drug delivery performance.
