Abstract
Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel method to treat peritoneal metastases by intraperitoneal nebulization of chemotherapy. Homogeneous distribution of the resulting aerosol is hampered by inertial impaction of aerosol droplets, and by gravitational acceleration. Here, we used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the effect of inertial impaction on spatial aerosol distribution during PIPAC.
