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.

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
