Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm (IAs) is a frequently localized cerebral vascular disorder of an overall prevalence of 5-8% [Cebral (2013)]. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by IAs rupture is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the modern world. Local hemodynamic characteristics played important roles in the rupture of IAs and has been studied extensively from different perspectives [Liu (2015); Brinjikji (2017)]. However, the influence of progressive cerebral stenosis on the hemodynamic of the distal cerebral aneurysm is yet to be further investigated. In this study, a set of patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to investigate the impact of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis growing on the hemodynamic environments in an anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoAA).
期刊介绍:
The field of biomechanics concerns with motion, deformation, and forces in biological systems. With the explosive progress in molecular biology, genomic engineering, bioimaging, and nanotechnology, there will be an ever-increasing generation of knowledge and information concerning the mechanobiology of genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and organs. Such information will bring new diagnostic tools, new therapeutic approaches, and new knowledge on ourselves and our interactions with our environment. It becomes apparent that biomechanics focusing on molecules, cells as well as tissues and organs is an important aspect of modern biomedical sciences. The aims of this journal are to facilitate the studies of the mechanics of biomolecules (including proteins, genes, cytoskeletons, etc.), cells (and their interactions with extracellular matrix), tissues and organs, the development of relevant advanced mathematical methods, and the discovery of biological secrets. As science concerns only with relative truth, we seek ideas that are state-of-the-art, which may be controversial, but stimulate and promote new ideas, new techniques, and new applications.
