A matched-pair case control study identifying hemodynamic predictors of cerebral aneurysm growth using computational fluid dynamics.

Although we did not reach statistical significance at the p = 0.05 level, our results align with previously observed trends, which noted that growing aneurysms tend to have higher areas of low shear compared to their non-growing counterparts, although the exact definition of low shear and level of significance varied greatly between studies.

While our study focused on the relationship between WSS and aneurysm growth due to the heavy implication of WSS as a driving factor of aneurysm progression, several studies have found significant or near-significant correlation between vorticity and shear concentration and aneurysm growth and rupture ( Sforza et al., 2016 ; Brinjikji et al., 2017 ).
