HEMODYNAMIC METRICS CORRELATE WITH INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM RUPTURE STATUS BETTER THAN MORPHOLOGIC METRICS

摘要

Hemodynamic parameters (Average WSS and Average OSI) derived from CFD can better separate unruptured and ruptured IA groups than morphological parameters. As hemodynamics cannot yet be easily assessed in the clinic, morphological parameters (along with patient demographics and clinical scenario) remain the standard of care in assessing aneurysm rupture risk. However, our data suggest that future applications of CFD technology to aneurysm assessment may provide a valuable additional tool in the clinician's decision-making process. Our results will be verified with a larger sample size once all 120 cases have been analyzed.
