Cellular and animal experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have revealed that mechanisms of the initiation, growth and rupture of a cerebral aneurysm are related to hemodynamics.By direct observation of a cerebral aneurysm during craniotomy, thinning or thickening sites can be found on the aneurysmal wall.The thinning site of a cerebral aneurysm is considered to be at high risk of rupture.In addition, the thickening site of a cerebral aneurysm is not necessarily in a stable state since arteriosclerosis may have occurred.Hence, information on wall conditions, i.
e., Gift Cards thinning and thickening, of a cerebral aneurysm is beneficial for clinical diagnosis and treatment.In this study, a hemodynamic parameter to effectively estimate the thinness HALTER/BRIDLE BAG WITH 3 HOOK RACK or thickness of cerebral aneurysmal walls was investigated.CFD of hemodynamics in cerebral aneurysms developed at the anterior communicating artery (ACoA), a common site of cerebral aneurysms, was performed, and characteristic distributions of hemodynamic parameters were investigated by comparing the computational results with clinical images.As a result, a high value of the time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) was found to be present at thinning sites, while a low TAWSS and a high relative residence time (RRT) of an indicator of blood retention were observed at thickening sites.
Thinning and thickening sites each have their own characteristics distribution of hemodynamic parameters.
