  4. Abstract:
  5. Targeted drug delivery (TDD) to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using a controlled and efficient approach has recently been a significant challenge. In this study, by using magnetic microbubbles (MMBs) under a magnetic field, we investigated the MMBs performance in TDD to AAA based on the amount of surface density of MMBs (SDMM) adhered to the AAA lumen. The results showed that among the types of MMBs studied in the presence of the magnetic field, micromarkers are the best type of microbubble with a −50 % increase in SDMM adhered to the critical area of AAA. The results show that applying a magnetic field causes the amount of SDMM adhered to the whole area of AAA to increase −1.54 times compared to the condition in which the magnetic field is absent. This optimal and maximum value occurs for Definity MMBs with − 3.3 μm diameter. Applying a magnetic field also increases the adhesion surface density by − 1.27 , − 1.14 , and −1.11 times for the Micromarker, Optison, and Sonovue microbubbles, respectively, relative to the condition in which the magnetic field is absent. It was shown that using MBBs under magnetic field has the best performance in delivery to AAA for patients with negative inlet blood flow. Also, we have exposed that in an efficient TDD to AAA using MMBs, decreasing the density of MMBs increases drug delivery efficiency and performance. When density is − 3500 Kg. m - 3, there is the highest difference (about − 75%) between the SDMM adhered to AAA in the presence of a magnetic field and in the absence of a magnetic field. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature
