Comparative analysis of morphological and hemodynamic parameters in stable anterior communicating and middle cerebral artery aneurysms
Objective
This study investigates morphological, hemodynamic and structural mechanical factors influencing aneurysm rupture behavior, specifically focusing on Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) and Anterior Communicating Artery (ACOMM) aneurysms, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analyses.
Methods
Data from 116 patients with aneurysms located in the MCA and ACOMM, including 81 ruptured and 35 stable aneurysms. Aneurysms were modeled with FSI methods to examine key parameters: aneurysm angle, wall shear stress, and equivalent Mises stress as well as additional parameters. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U-test to identify significant differences in these parameters between the two locations in stable and ruptured aneurysms. In a further step univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed.
Results
Results indicated no significant differences in the assessed parameters between ruptured MCA and ACOMM aneurysms. However, stable ACOMM aneurysms exhibited a larger aneurysm angle, lower wall equivalent stress as well as lower ratio of maximum WSS in the aneurysms and the parent vessel when compared to MCA aneurysms, indicating that ACOMM aneurysms may rupture at lower stresses possibly due to their higher aneurysm angle. Regression analysis underlines the statistical power of aneurysm angle.
Conclusions
These findings highlight morphological and hemodynamic differences in stable aneurysms across MCA and ACOMM locations. Stable MCA aneurysms appear to tolerate higher wall stress values compared to ACOMM aneurysms, leading to greater susceptibility to rupture in ACOMM aneurysms at stress levels where MCA aneurysms can remain stable. This study underscores the importance of considering morphological, hemodynamic and structural mechanical factors as well as the distinction between stable and ruptured aneurysms, to improve the accuracy of rupture risk.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
