Complex Analysis of Rupture Risk of Intracranial Saccular Aneurysms upon Hemodynamic and Geometric Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper includes a new concept of assessment of rupture risk of intracranial saccular aneurysms using geometric and hemodynamic parameters of aneurysm, artery and blood. Previous decision systems are mainly based on the size of aneurysm and frequency of subarrachnoid hemorrhages, therefore after performing simulation tests it has been proved that the complex assessment of clinical cases is possible thanks to evaluation of shape and size coefficient of a secondary aneurysm occurring on the surface of a primary aneurysm, width of a primary aneurysm neck, curvature of an artery on which a primary aneurysm is located and the size of blood impingement area at artery wall. The paper contains results of the simulation tests of blood flow in the primary and secondary aneurysm, as well as verification of proposed criteria of rupture risk assessment for 5 clinical cases.

Additional Value of Intra-Aneurysmal Hemodynamics in Discriminating Ruptured versus Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemodynamics are thought to play an important role in the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. We tested whether hemodynamics, determined from computational fluid dynamics models, have additional value in discriminating ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Such discriminative power could provide better prediction models for rupture. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional s...
متن کاملUnruptured intracranial aneurysms: incidence of rupture and risk factors.
UNLABELLED Backgrounds and Purpose- The authors evaluated the incidence of rupture of unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysm during observation. METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2006, a total of 419 patients with 529 unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysms were observed without treatment. The mean follow-up duration was 905.3 days. Aneurysm size was measured by 3-dimensional CT...
متن کاملFlow Conditions in the Intracranial Aneurysm Lumen Are Associated with Inflammation and Degenerative Changes of the Aneurysm Wall.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Saccular intracranial aneurysm is a common disease that may cause devastating intracranial hemorrhage. Hemodynamics, wall remodeling, and wall inflammation have been associated with saccular intracranial aneurysm rupture. We investigated how saccular intracranial aneurysm hemodynamics is associated with wall remodeling and inflammation of the saccular intracranial aneurys...
متن کاملThe perianeurysmal environment: influence on saccular aneurysm shape and rupture.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether interactions between intracranial cerebral saccular aneurysms and the perianeurysmal environment (PAE), in the form of contact constraints, influence aneurysm shape and risk of rupture. METHODS A total of 190 consecutive aneurysms during a 34-month period were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 124 were ruptured (group 1) and 66 were ...
متن کاملRupture-associated changes of cerebral aneurysm geometry: high-resolution 3D imaging before and after rupture.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Comparisons of geometric data of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms may yield risk factors for rupture. Data on changes of geometric measures associated with rupture are, however, sparse, because patients with ruptured aneurysms rarely have undergone previous imaging of the intracranial vasculature. We had the opportunity to assess 3D geometric differences of aneurysms bef...
