Investigation of paraclinoid aneurysm formation by comparing the combined influence of hemodynamic parameters between aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal arteries.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of hemodynamic parameters on aneurysm formation. However, the reasons why aneurysms do not initiate in intracranial arteries are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of hemodynamic parameters, wall shear stress (WSS) and strain, on aneurysm formation by comparing between aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal arteries. Fifty-eight patients with paraclinoid aneurysms on one side were enrolled. Based on magnetic resonance angiography, each patient's left and right internal carotid arteries (ICAs) were reconstructed. For a patient having an aneurysm on one side, the ICA with the paraclinoid aneurysm was defined as the aneurysmal artery after eliminating the aneurysm, whereas the opposite ICA without aneurysm was defined as the non-ane
