Cerebral Aneurysms: Deduction of Hemodynamic Factors using CFD

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carries a high morbidity and mortality. The current protocols used to treat the unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (IAs) are inadequate underscoring the need of finding new descriptors. As demonstrated by the studies performed in this manuscript, haemodynamics plays an important role in the aetiopathogenesis of IAs. An evaluation of haemodynamic indices can provide a useful alternative to predict the behavior of an unruptured IA at an early stage. Studies performed by me demonstrate that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be used successfully to predict haemodynamic indices where detailed in vivo measurement of haemodynamic flow variables is not possible owing to technical limitations.
