Fluid structure Interaction analysis for rupture risk assessment in patients with middle cerebral artery aneurysms.

ABSTRACT: Accurate rupture risk assessment is essential for optimizing treatment decisions in patients with cerebral aneurysms. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has provided critical insights into aneurysmal hemodynamics, most analyses focus on blood flow patterns, neglecting the biomechanical properties of the aneurysm wall. To address this limitation, we applied Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis, an integrative approach that simulates the dynamic interplay between hemodynamics and wall mechanics, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment. In this study, we used advanced FSI techniques to investigate the rupture risk of middle cerebral artery bifurcation (MCA) aneurysms, analyzing a cohort of 125 patients treated for a MCA aneurysm at Kepler University Hospital, Linz, Austria.
