چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemodynamics is an important factor in the development and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. Current techniques for measuring blood flow in cerebral aneurysms suffer from various limitations and have not been able to address our clinical needs. A new technique has been developed for effective evaluation of intra-aneurysmal flow based on high-frame-rate cerebral angiography, especially for flow-diverters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six patients with 7 unruptured ICA aneurysms were imaged with a specially designed DSA protocol (a 3D DSA and a 2D DSA acquired at 30 frames/s, with a 2-mL/s contrast injection rate). Images of these cases were analyzed to determine the intra-aneurysmal flow based on the newly developed technique. Patient-specific aneurysm models were used for CFD calculation, and intra-aneurysmal flow rates were computed numerically. The intra-aneurysmal flow rates from the 2 methods were then compared. RESULTS There is a linear relationship between intra-aneurysmal flow ratios obtained from high-frame-rate cerebral angiography and CFD calculation (R = 0.99). A high frame rate (30 frames/s) provides a better estimate of intra-aneurysmal flow than low frame rates (7.5 frames/s and 15 frames/s). CONCLUSIONS The CFD calculation validates the estimate of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics from cerebral angiography. The linear relationship obtained by using these 2 techniques can be used for real-time assessment of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics for cerebral aneurysms.

Computational fluid dynamics modeling of intracranial aneurysms: effects of parent artery segmentation on intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to show the influence of the upstream parent artery geometry on intraaneurysmal hemodynamics of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS Patient-specific models of 4 cerebral aneurysms (1 posterior communicating artery [PcomA], 2 middle cerebral artery [MCA], and 1 anterior communicating artery [AcomA]) were constructed from 3D rotational angiography images. Two geomet...

Cerebral aneurysms treated with flow-diverting stents: computational models with intravascular blood flow measurements.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Computational fluid dynamics modeling is useful in the study of the hemodynamic environment of cerebral aneurysms, but patient-specific measurements of boundary conditions, such as blood flow velocity and pressure, have not been previously applied to the study of flow-diverting stents. We integrated patient-specific intravascular blood flow velocity and pressure measureme...

MR angiography with three-dimensional time-of-flight and targeted maximum-intensity-projection reconstructions in the follow-up of intracranial aneurysms embolized with Guglielmi detachable coils.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial contrast angiographies are generally used to confirm treatment results of endovascular neurointerventions such as aneurysm obliteration. We compared MR angiography with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a follow-up technique for the detection of aneurysmal remnant cavities and arterial patency in patients treated for intracranial aneurysms with Gugli...
