Abstract

Recent reports indicate that the rupture risk for cerebral aneurysms is less than the risk of surgical complications. Being able to predict the rupture of aneurysms would help making better-informed decisions and avoiding unnecessary surgical operations. The wall shear stress is known to play an important role in vascular diseases. We carry out computational fluid-structure interaction analyses to investigate the influence of the arterial-wall deformation on the hemodynamic factors, including the wall shear stress distribution. The results show various patterns of this influence, depending very much on the arterial geometry.
