Zakeri M, Atef A, Aziznia M, Jafari A. A comprehensive investigation of morphological features responsible for cerebral aneurysm rupture using machine learning. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15777. [PMID: 38982160 PMCID: PMC11233616 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-66840-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Cerebral aneurysms are a silent yet prevalent condition that affects a significant global population. Their development can be attributed to various factors, presentations, and treatment approaches. The importance of selecting the appropriate treatment becomes evident upon diagnosis, as the severity of the disease guides the course of action. Cerebral aneurysms are particularly vulnerable in the circle of Willis and pose a significant concern due to the potential for rupture, which can lead to irreversible consequences, including fatality. The primary objective of this study is to predict the rupture status of cerebral aneurysms. To achieve this, we leverage a comprehensive dataset that incorporates clinical and morphological data extracted from 3D real geometries of previous patients. The aim of this research is to provide valuable insights that can help make informed decisions during the treatment process and potentially save the lives of future patients. Diagnosing and predicting aneurysm rupture based solely on brain scans is a significant challenge with limited reliability, even for experienced physicians. However, by employing statistical methods and machine learning techniques, we can assist physicians in making more confident predictions regarding rupture likelihood and selecting appropriate treatment strategies. To achieve this, we used 5 classification machine learning algorithms and trained them on a substantial database comprising 708 cerebral aneurysms. The dataset comprised 3 clinical features and 35 morphological parameters, including 8 novel morphological features introduced for the first time in this study. Our models demonstrated exceptional performance in predicting cerebral aneurysm rupture, with accuracy ranging from 0.76 to 0.82 and precision score from 0.79 to 0.83 for the test dataset. As the data are sensitive and the condition is critical, recall is prioritized as the more crucial parameter over accuracy and precision, and our models achieved outstanding recall score ranging from 0.85 to 0.92. Overall, the best model was Support Vector Machin with an accuracy and precision of 0.82, recall of 0.92 for the testing dataset and the area under curve of 0.84. The ellipticity index, size ratio, and shape irregularity are pivotal features in predicting aneurysm rupture, respectively, contributing significantly to our understanding of this complex condition. Among the multitude of parameters under investigation, these are particularly important. In this study, the ideal roundness parameter was introduced as a novel consideration and ranked fifth among all 38 parameters. Neck circumference and outlet numbers from the new parameters were also deemed significant contributors.

Chin Neurosurg J 2024; 10:13.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodynamic factors play an important role in aneurysm initiation, growth, rupture, and recurrence, while the mechanism of the hemodynamic characteristics is still controversial. A unique model of multiple aneurysms (initiation, growth, rupture, and recurrence) is helpful to avoids the confounders and further explore the possible hemodynamic mechanisms of aneurysm in different states. METHODS We present a model with multiple aneurysms, and including the states of initiation, growth, rupture, and recurrence, discuss the proposed mechanisms, and describe computational fluid dynamic model that was used to evaluate the likely hemodynamic effect of different states of the aneurysms. RESULTS The hemodynamic analysis suggests that high flow impingement and high WSS distribution at normal parent artery was found before aneurysmal initiation. The WSS distribution and flow velocity were decreased in the new sac after aneurysmal growth. Low WSS was the risk hemodynamic factor for aneurysmal rupture. High flow concentration region on the neck plane after coil embolization still marked in recanalized aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS Associations have been identified between high flow impingement and aneurysm recanalization, while low WSS is linked to the rupture of aneurysms. High flow concentration and high WSS distribution at normal artery associated with aneurysm initiation and growth, while after growth, the high-risk hemodynamics of aneurysm rupture was occurred, which is low WSS at aneurysm dome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imaging modalities with increased spatial resolution have allowed for more precise quantification of cerebral aneurysm shape in 3-dimensional (3D) space. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the correlation of individual 3D morphometric measures with cerebral aneurysm rupture status. METHODS Two independent reviewers performed a PRISMA (preferred reporting items of systematic reviews and meta-analysis)-guided literature search to identify articles reporting the association between 3D morphometric measures of intracranial aneurysms and rupture status. RESULTS A total of 15,122 articles were identified. After screening, 39 studies were included. We identified 17 3D morphometric measures, with 11 eligible for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed a significant association with rupture status for the following measures: nonsphericity index (standardized mean difference [SMD], 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53-0.79; P < 0.0001; I2 = 55.2%), undulation index (SMD, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.26-0.85; P = 0.0017; I2 = 68.1%), ellipticity index (SMD, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.29-0.77; P = 0.0005; I2 = 70.8%), volume (SMD, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.02-0.35; P = 0.0320; I2 = 82.3%), volume/ostium ratio (SMD, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.16-0.71; P = 0.0075; I2 = 90.4%), elongation (SMD, -0.94; 95% CI, -1.12 to -0.76; P = 0.0005; I2 = 0%), flatness (SMD, -0.87; 95% CI, -1.04 to -0.71; P = 0.0005; I2 = 0%), and sphericity (SMD, -0.62; 95% CI, -1.06 to -0.17; P = 0.0215; I2 = 67.9%). A significant risk of publication bias was estimated for the ellipticity index (P = 0.0360) and volume (P = 0.0030). CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of a meta-analysis containing 39 studies, the nonsphericity index, undulation index, elongation, flatness, and sphericity demonstrated the most consistent correlation with rupture status.

Associations between morphological parameters and ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm: A propensity score-matched, single center, case-control study. Interv Neuroradiol 2024; 30:51-56. [PMID: 35722707 PMCID: PMC10956452 DOI: 10.1177/15910199221108308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify an association between morphological parameters and the rupture risk of anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms using propensity score matching (PSM). METHODS Data for 109 patients with ACoA aneurysms treated from January 2018 to October 2021 were reviewed; 94 patients were enrolled. The geometrical parameters of the ACoA aneurysms were measured and calculated using three-dimensional reconstructed digital subtraction angiography images. The aneurysms' morphological parameters were analyzed using a propensity score for six factors (age, sex, excess alcohol intake, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus). Univariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the aneurysms' morphological parameters and rupture risk. RESULTS Twenty-five patients each with or without ruptured aneurysms were selected. After matching, no statistically significant differences were seen between the groups in their baseline characteristics. Aneurysm neck size (p = 0.038) was higher in the unruptured group than that in the ruptured group, and the dome-to-neck ratio (D/N; p = 0.009) and aspect ratio (AR; p = 0.003) were higher in the ruptured group than those in the unruptured group. Univariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that ACoA aneurysm rupture was associated with AR (odds ratio: 8.047; 95% confidence interval: 1.569-41.213; p = 0.012) and D/N (odds ratio: 4.253; 95% confidence interval: 1.228-14.731; p = 0.022). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for AR and D/N were 0.746 and 0.715, respectively. CONCLUSIONS After PSM, ACoA aneurysms with higher AR and D/N, and smaller neck size were more likely to rupture. AR may be a much more important predictor of aneurysm rupture than other predictors.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the rate of morphological changes and intracranial aneurysm rupture during the cardiac cycle. Methods Eighty-four patients with intracranial aneurysms were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the rupture (42 cases) and unruptured (42 cases) groups. Four-dimensional computed tomography angiography (4D-CTA) was performed to collect quantitative parameters of aneurysm morphology and calculate the morphological change rate. The potential factors associated with aneurysm rupture were determined by comparing the general clinical data and rate of change in the location and morphology of the aneurysm between the two groups. Results Each morphological change rate in the rupture group was generally higher than that of the unruptured group. The rate of dome height change and aneurysm volume change were independent factors associated with aneurysm rupture. ROC curve analysis revealed that the diagnostic accuracy of the aneurysm volume change rate was higher. When the volume change rate was 12.33%, the sensitivity and specificity of rupture were 90.5 and 55.8%, respectively. Conclusion The rate of change in dome height and volume of intracranial aneurysms during one cardiac cycle were independent factors associated with aneurysm rupture.

Abstract
Background While image-derived predictors of intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture have been well-explored, current understanding of IA growth is limited. Pulsatility index (PI) and wall shear stress pulsatility index (WSSPI) are important metrics measuring temporal hemodynamic instability. However, they have not been investigated in IA growth research. The present study seeks to verify reliable predictors of IA growth with comparative analyses of several important morphological and hemodynamic metrics between stable and growing cases among a group of unruptured IAs. Methods Using 3D images, vascular models of 16 stable and 20 growing cases were constructed and verified using Geodesic techniques. With an overall mean follow-up period of 25 months, cases exhibiting a 10% or higher increase in diameter were considered growing. Patient-specific, pulsatile simulations were performed, and hemodynamic calculations were computed at 5 important regions of each aneurysm (inflow artery, aneurysm neck, body, dome, and outflow artery). Index values were compared between growing and stable IAs using ANCOVA controlling for aneurysm diameter. Stepwise multiple logistic regression and ROC analyses were conducted to investigate predictive models of IA growth. Results Compared to stable IAs, growing IAs exhibited significantly higher intrasaccular PI, intrasaccular WSSPI, intrasaccular spatial flow rate deviation, and intrasaccular spatial wall shear stress (WSS) deviation. Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed a significant predictive model involving PI at aneurysm body, WSSPI at inflow artery, and WSSPI at aneurysm body. Conclusions Our results showed that high degree of hemodynamic variations within IAs is linked to growth, even after controlling for morphological parameters. Further, evaluation of PI in conjunction with WSSPI yielded a highly accurate predictive model of IA growth. Upon validation in future cohorts, these metrics may aid in early identification of IA growth and current understanding of IA remodeling mechanism.

Abstract
The microcirculation plays a key role in delivering oxygen to and removing metabolic wastes from energy-intensive retinal neurons. Microvascular changes are a hallmark feature of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a major cause of irreversible vision loss globally. Early investigators have performed landmark studies characterising the pathologic manifestations of DR. Previous works have collectively informed us of the clinical stages of DR and the retinal manifestations associated with devastating vision loss. Since these reports, major advancements in histologic techniques coupled with three-dimensional image processing has facilitated a deeper understanding of the structural characteristics in the healthy and diseased retinal circulation. Furthermore, breakthroughs in high-resolution retinal imaging have facilitated clinical translation of histologic knowledge to detect and monitor progression of microcirculatory disturbances with greater precision. Isolated perfusion techniques have been applied to human donor eyes to further our understanding of the cytoarchitectural characteristics of the normal human retinal circulation as well as provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of DR. Histology has been used to validate emerging in vivo retinal imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography angiography. This report provides an overview of our research on the human retinal microcirculation in the context of the current ophthalmic literature. We commence by proposing a standardised histologic lexicon for characterising the human retinal microcirculation and subsequently discuss the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying key manifestations of DR, with a focus on microaneurysms and retinal ischaemia. The advantages and limitations of current retinal imaging modalities as determined using histologic validation are also presented. We conclude with an overview of the implications of our research and provide a perspective on future directions in DR research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, the hemodynamic parameters of ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in various studies were summarized and analyzed to provide predictive parameters for IA rupture in clinical work. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of science, Embase, and Cochrane databases for articles published before December 2021 to collect data on hemodynamic parameters associated with IA rupture. Differences in wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and low wall shear stress area (LSA) between ruptured and unruptured IAs in the literature were summarized and analyzed, and the standardized mean difference (SMD) of 95% CI was calculated by Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS By searching and screening the literature, this meta-analysis included 17 studies comprising 1,373 IA patients. In the ruptured aneurysm group, the level of WSS decreased significantly, while OSI and LSA increased obviously. CONCLUSION Low WSS, high OSI, and high LSA are closely related to the rupture of IAs, indicating the role of WSS, OSI, and LSA as important hemodynamic parameters for predicting the rupture of IAs in clinical work.

Abstract
Discordant findings were frequently reported by studies dedicated to exploring the association of morphological/hemodynamic factors with the rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IAs), probably owing to insufficient control of confounding factors. In this study, we aimed to minimize the influences of confounding factors by focusing IAs of interest on mirror aneurysms and, meanwhile, modeling IAs together with the cerebral arterial network to improve the physiological fidelity of hemodynamic simulation. 52 mirror aneurysms located at the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 26 patients were retrospectively investigated. Numerical tests performed on two randomly selected patients demonstrated that over truncation of cerebral arteries proximal to the MCA during image-based model reconstruction led to uncertain changes in computed values of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamic parameters, which justified the minimal truncation strategy adopted in our study. Five morphological parameters (i.e., volume (V), height (H), dome area (DA), non-sphericity index (NSI), and size ratio (SR)) and two hemodynamic parameters (i.e., peak WSS (peakWSS), and pressure loss coefficient (PLc)) were found to differ significantly between the ruptured and unruptured aneurysms and proved by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to have potential value for differentiating the rupture status of aneurysm with the areas under curve (AUCs) ranging from 0.681 to 0.763. Integrating V, SR, peakWSS and PLc or some of them into regression models considerably improved the classification of aneurysms, elevating AUC up to 0.864, which indicates that morphological and hemodynamic parameters have complementary roles in assessing the risk of aneurysm rupture.

Abstract
Purpose: Keyhole craniotomy is a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of anterior circulation aneurysm. In this study, we evaluated the benefits and value of the keyhole approach by analyzing the surgical results in 235 patients with anterior circulation aneurysm treated by the keyhole approach and identifying lessons learned from addressing various complications in this approach. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study in a single institution of 235 surgical patients with 248 anterior circulation aneurysms who had the supraorbital keyhole approach (SKA) or pterional keyhole approach (PKA) between January 2016 and January 2021. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to measure long-term results during follow up. Results: All 235 patients' aneurysms were fully clamped and have not recurred. Among them, 31 (13.2%) had intraoperative aneurysm rupture, 8 (3.4%) had cerebral vascular spasm, and 4 (1.7%) had intraoperative brain edema. There were seven (3.0%) cases of postoperative infection, eight (3.4%) cases of postoperative cerebral infarction, one (0.4%) case of postoperative hematoma, and two (0.8%) patients had some form of cognitive impairment after surgery. Follow up after surgery demonstrated that 189 out of the 235 patients (80.4%) had favorable outcomes (mRS score 0–2), and 43 (18.3%) had poor outcomes (mRS from 3–5). There were three deaths (1.28%). Conclusions: The keyhole approach has a quick postoperative recovery, a mild postoperative response, and a good surgical outcome. Our findings indicate that the keyhole approach is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of anterior circulation aneurysm.

Abstract
Numerous studies suggest that disturbed shear, causing endothelium dysfunction, can be related to neighboring vortex structures. With this motivation, this study presents a methodology to characterize the vortex structures. Precisely, we use mapping and characterization of vortex structures' changes to relate it with the hemodynamic indicators of disturbed shear. Topological features of vortex core lines (VCLs) are used to quantify the changes in vortex structures. We use the Sujudi-Haimes algorithm to extract the VCLs from the flow simulation results. The idea of relating vortex structures with disturbed shear is demonstrated for cerebral arteries with aneurysms virtually treated by inserting foam in the sac. To get physiologically realistic flow fields, we simulate blood flow in two patient-specific geometries before and after foam insertion, with realistic velocity waveform imposed at the inlet, using the Carreau-Yasuda model to mimic the shear-thinning behavior. With homogenous porous medium assumption, flow through the foam is modeled using the Forchheimer-Brinkman extended Darcy model. Results show that foam insertion increases the number of VCLs in the parent lumen. The average length of VCL increases by 168.9% and 55.6% in both geometries. For both geometries under consideration, results demonstrate that the region with increased disturbed shear lies in the same arterial segment exhibiting an increase in the number of oblique VCLs. Based on the findings, we conjecture that an increase in oblique VCLs is related to increased disturbed shear at the neighboring portion of the arterial wall.

Rupture risk assessment for multiple intracranial aneurysms: why there is no need for dozens of clinical, morphological and hemodynamic parameters. Ther Adv Neurol Disord 2020; 13:1756286420966159. [PMID: 33403004 PMCID: PMC7739206 DOI: 10.1177/1756286420966159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: A multitude of approaches have been postulated for assessing the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture. However, the amount of potential predictive factors is not applicable in clinical practice and they are rejected in favor of the more practical PHASES score. For the subgroup of multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs), the PHASES score might severely underestimate the rupture risk, as only the aneurysm with the largest diameter is considered for risk evaluation. Methods: In this study, we investigated 38 patients harboring a total number of 87 MIAs with respect to their morphological and hemodynamical characteristics. For the determination of the best suited parameters regarding their predictive power for aneurysm rupture, we conducted three phases of statistical evaluation. The statistical analysis aimed to identify parameters that differ significantly between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, show smallest possible correlations among each other and have a high impact on rupture risk prediction. Results: Significant differences between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms were found in 16 out of 49 parameters. The lowest correlation were found for gamma, aspect ratio (AR1), aneurysm maximal relative residence time (Aneurysm_RRT_max) and aneurysm mean relative residence time. The data-driven parameter selection yielded a significant correlation of only two parameters (AR1 and the Aneurysm_RRT_max) with rupture state (area under curve = 0.75). Conclusion: A high number of established morphological and hemodynamical parameters seem to have no or only low effect on prediction of aneurysm rupture in patients with MIAs. For best possible rupture risk assessment of patients with MIAs, only the morphological parameter AR1 and the hemodynamical parameter Aneurysm_RRT_max need to be included in the prediction model.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (PRAAAs) are a life-threatening disease, and hemodynamic analysis may provide greater insight into the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, the lack of patient-specific boundary conditions on the periphery compromises the accuracy. Windkessel (WK) boundary conditions coupled to hemodynamic follow-up models of a PRAAA patient, aims to provide insights into the link between hemodynamics and poor prognosis. METHOD One PRAAA patient underwent EVAR and reintervention after one branch of stent-graft (SG) had migrated. Totally five computational follow-up models were studied. Patient-specific flow data acquired via ultrasound were used to define the boundary conditions in the ascending aorta and the following three branches. Coupled zero-dimensional WK models representing the distal vasculature were used to define the outlet boundary conditions under the abdomen. RESULTS Flow divisions of the main SG branches were 40.7% and 24.7%, respectively. Time-averaged wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index (OSI) increased at the junction connected the SG branch and the stent leading to the right common iliac artery (RCIA) where the stent migrated. The OSI and relative residence time (RRT) value in superior mesenteric artery increased notably after the migration, the RRT continuously increased following the reintervention. CONCLUSION Unbalanced flow, resulting in locally high-speed flow, high WSS and OSI might significantly affect stent stability. Results suggest that diameters and interconnection design of stents in complex cases should take the flow division into consideration and computational simulations might be considered as a tool for intervention protocol design.

Abstract
The growth of cerebral aneurysms is linked to local hemodynamic conditions, but the driving mechanisms of the growth are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to examine the association between intraaneurysmal hemodynamic features and areas of aneurysm growth, to present the key hemodynamic parameters essential for an accurate prediction of the growth, and to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Patient-specific images of a growing cerebral aneurysm in 3 different growth stages acquired over a period of 40 months were segmented and reconstructed. A unique aspect of this patient-specific case study was that while one side of the aneurysm stayed stable, the other side continued to grow. This unique case enabled the authors to examine their aims in the same patient with parent and daughter arteries under the same inlet flow conditions. Pulsatile flow in the aneurysm models was simulated using computational fluid dynamics and was validated with in vitro experiments using particle image velocimetry measurements. The authors' detailed analysis of intrasaccular hemodynamics linked the growing regions of aneurysms to flow instabilities and complex vortex structures. Extremely low velocities were observed at or around the center of the unstable vortex structure, which matched well with the growing regions of the studied cerebral aneurysm. Furthermore, the authors observed that the aneurysm wall regions with a growth greater than 0.5 mm coincided with wall regions of lower (< 0.5 Pa) time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), lower instantaneous (< 0.5 Pa) wall shear stress (WSS), and high (> 0.1) oscillatory shear index (OSI). To determine which set of parameters can best identify growing and nongrowing aneurysms, the authors performed statistical analysis for consecutive stages of the growing CA. The results demonstrated that the combination of TAWSS and the distance from the center of the vortical structure has the highest sensitivity and positive predictive value, and relatively high specificity and negative predictive value. These findings suggest that an unstable, recirculating flow structure within the aneurysm sac created in the region adjacent to the aneurysm wall with low TAWSS may be introduced as an accurate criterion to explain the hemodynamic conditions predisposing the aneurysm to growth. The authors' findings are based on one patient's data set, but the study lays out the justification for future large-scale verification. The authors' findings can assist clinicians in differentiating stable and growing aneurysms during preinterventional planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Incidental aneurysms pose a challenge for physicians, who need to weigh the rupture risk against the risks associated with treatment and its complications. A statistical model could potentially support such treatment decisions. A recently developed aneurysm rupture probability model performed well in the US data used for model training and in data from two European cohorts for external validation. Because Japanese and Finnish patients are known to have a higher aneurysm rupture risk, the authors' goals in the present study were to evaluate this model using data from Japanese and Finnish patients and to compare it with new models trained with Finnish and Japanese data. METHODS Patient and image data on 2129 aneurysms in 1472 patients were used. Of these aneurysm cases, 1631 had been collected mainly from US hospitals, 249 from European (other than Finnish) hospitals, 147 from Japanese hospitals, and 102 from Finnish hospitals. Computational fluid dynamics simulations and shape analyses were conducted to quantitatively characterize each aneurysm's shape and hemodynamics. Next, the previously developed model's discrimination was evaluated using the Finnish and Japanese data in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Models with and without interaction terms between patient population and aneurysm characteristics were trained and evaluated including data from all four cohorts obtained by repeatedly randomly splitting the data into training and test data. RESULTS The US model's AUC was reduced to 0.70 and 0.72, respectively, in the Finnish and Japanese data compared to 0.82 and 0.86 in the European and US data. When training the model with Japanese and Finnish data, the average AUC increased only slightly for the Finnish sample (to 0.76 ± 0.16) and Finnish and Japanese cases combined (from 0.74 to 0.75 ± 0.14) and decreased for the Japanese data (to 0.66 ± 0.33). In models including interaction terms, the AUC in the Finnish and Japanese data combined increased significantly to 0.83 ± 0.10. CONCLUSIONS Developing an aneurysm rupture prediction model that applies to Japanese and Finnish aneurysms requires including data from these two cohorts for model training, as well as interaction terms between patient population and the other variables in the model. When including this information, the performance of such a model with Japanese and Finnish data is close to its performance with US or European data. These results suggest that population-specific differences determine how hemodynamics and shape associate with rupture risk in intracranial aneurysms.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) carry the risk of rupture, which will lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which has a high mortality and morbidity risk. However, the treatment of IA's carries mortality and morbidity risks too. There are well-known risk factors for the rupture of IAs like age, size, and site. However, choosing patients with unruptured IAs for treatment is still a big challenge. This review article aimed to find out the relationship between morphological and hemodynamic characters of IAs with their rupture and incorporate these factors with well-known factors to yield an accurate module for predicting the rupture of IAs and decision-making in the treatment of unruptured IAs. We searched in PubMed and Medline databases by using the following keywords: IAs, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and risk of rupture, morphology, and hemodynamic “mesh.” A total of 19 studies with 7269 patients and 9167 IAs, of which 1701 had ruptured, were reviewed thoroughly. Some modules like population, hypertension, age, size, earlier subarachnoid hemorrhage, and site (PHASES) score that involve well-known risk factors can be used to assess the risk of rupture of IAs. However, decision making for treating unruptured IA needs more detailed and more accurate modules. Studying morphological and hemodynamic factors and incorporation of them with well-known risk factors to yield a more comprehensive module will be very helpful in treating unruptured IA. Among morphological factors, aspect ratio (AR), size ratio (SR), aneurysm height, and bottle-neck factor showed significant effects on the growth and rupture of IA. Besides, wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and low wall shear stress area (LSA) as hemodynamic factors could have a substantial impact on the formation, shape, growth, and rupture of unruptured IA.

Abstract
Despite the rapid progress of vascular neurosurgery with the development of microsurgical and endovascular techniques, the optimal strategy for surgical treatment of multiple cerebral aneurysms has not yet been developed. The indications for choosing one-stage or multi-stage surgery remain unsolved. This is a summary of the departmental routine reports at the Clinic of Neurosurgery, National Hospital of the Kyrgyz Republic. Subjects were 235 patients (124 males and 111 females) with ruptured multiple cerebral aneurysms admitted to the hospital. Their ages ranged from 18 to 72 years (average and standard deviation: 44.3 ± 9.7 years) and 48.1% of patients had 3 or more aneurysms. Among aneurysms that ruptured, 20.4% were a giant aneurysm (>25 mm) and 43.0% of patients had grade IV or V according to the Hunt-Hess Scale. Among 228 patients who were operated on, 147 were treated by single-stage surgery and 81 by multi-stage surgery. Microsurgical operations with clipping of the aneurysm neck were performed in 141 (61.8%) patients (97 single-stage and 44 multi-stage), while 40 (17.5%) patients (16 single-stage and 24 multi-stage) were operated using the endovascular technique. The number of palliative surgeries (trapping, ligation of the internal carotid artery, and reinforcement of the aneurysm wall) was significantly less (p=0.011) with multi-stage surgery (9 out of 81 cases, 11.1%) than with single-stage surgery (38 out of 147 cases, 25.9%). Among 600 aneurysms, 583 (97.2%) were treated by either single-stage surgery (n=296) or multi-stage surgery (n=287). There were no differences in prognosis at discharge between single-stage and multi-stage surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The PHASES score was formulated to predict the 5-year risk of rupture for intracranial aneurysms. We retrospectively analyzed all patients treated in our institution for aneurysmal SAH and applied the PHASES score to estimate the probable predicted risk of bleeding in this group of patients. METHODS Between February 2015 and August 2018, all patients with aneurysmal SAH were retrospectively analyzed and the PHASES score was applied. A total of 155 patients were included with a mean age of 53.8years, including 60 males and 95 females. RESULTS Of our patients 110 (70.9%) had a PHASES score of below or equal to 5, with a hemorrhagic risk of up to 1.3% over 5years. If we analyze the patients with a risk of below 2% this figure increases to 122 patients (78.7%). Of these 99.3% were European and 0.6% were Japanese (1 patient). In 86 patients (55.4%), the aneurysm was smaller than 5mm and in 10 patients (6.4%) the aneurysm was located in the posterior circulation. CONCLUSION Of our patients 78.7% had less than a 2% 5-year rupture risk based on their PHASES score, highlighting the discrepancy of the rupture risk calculated with the PHASES score when hypothetically applied to this group of patients. In the hypothetical scenario that our patients had unruptured aneurysms, our retrospective analysis shows that the PHASES score may only provide a weak tool for clinicians to use in the decision-making process as to whether or not to treat these aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism responsible for cerebral aneurysm (CA) formation and rupture remains unclear. Some studies showed vascular involvement could be observed in systemic vasculitis caused by Hepatitis B. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the possibility by which hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection might be associated with CA. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively studied patient details and serological markers of HBV infection among 229 patients presenting with CA on admission to the Neurosurgery Department at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between March 2016 and February 2017. Clinical data, radiologic findings and clinical features of HBV infection were analyzed by SPSS. The results showed a significant association between HBsAg positive (p = 0.014), anti-HBc positive (p = 0.045) and CA rupture. Univariate analysis revealed patients that were HBsAg positive (OR: 4.828; 95% CI: 1.363-17.099; p = 0.015) and anti-HBc positive (OR: 1.804; 95% CI: 1.010-3.223; p = 0.046) were associated with CA rupture. Compared with other confounding risk factors for rupture in the statistical analysis, HBsAg positive status (OR: 4.085; 95% CI: 1.011-16.513; p = 0.048) remained positively associated with CA rupture. CONCLUSIONS Observation showed that HBsAg positivity was associated with CA rupture.

Abstract
There are few reliable morphologic indices to aid in the determination of an intracranial aneurysm's rupture risk. We sought to characterize morphological characteristics of aneurysm sacs and their lobes that are associated with ruptured status at time of initial evaluation with diagnostic angiography. These factors could be associated with an aneurysm's risk of rupturing. We retrospectively reviewed all aneurysms imaged with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) at a single institution over five years. Patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) were assigned to the ruptured group, and those presenting without aSAH were assigned to the unruptured group. Angiograms were evaluated for the presence of various morphological parameters. Binary logistic regression was used to assess their associations between groups. A total of 331 aneurysms among 241 patients were included in the analysis. Posterior circulation, larger size ratio, and the presence of two or more lobes were associated with aneurysm rupture (p < 0.001 for each). Aneurysms containing a lobe with a greater height than width were observed more frequently in the ruptured group (OR 5.26, 95% CI 2.66-10.41). In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, mean diameter had an AUC of 0.72 and an optimum threshold of 2.85 mm. For size ratio, the AUC was 0.70 and the optimum threshold was 2.02. A larger SR was observed in ruptured aneurysms. The presence of multiple lobes and greater lobe height than width were associated with rupture status as well. These factors merit investigation in a prospective study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ruptured aneurysms, the commonest cause of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, can be catastrophic; the mortality and morbidity of affected patients being very high. Some risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension and female sex have been identified, whereas others, such as hemodynamics, imaging, and genomics, remain unclear. Currently, no accurate model that includes all factors for predicting such rupture is available. We plan to use data from a large cohort of Chinese individuals to set up a multidimensional model for predicting risk of rupture of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). METHODS The China Intracranial Aneurysm Project-2 (CIAP-2) will comprise screening of a cohort of 500 patients with UIA (From CIAP-1) and focus on hemodynamic factors, high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) findings, genetic factors, and biomarkers. Possible risk factors for rupture of UIA, including genetic factors, biomarkers, HRMRI, and hemodynamic factors, will be analyzed. The first project of the China Intracranial Aneurysm Project (CIAP-1; chaired by the Department of Neurosurgery, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China) will prospectively collect a cohort of 5000 patients with UIA from 20 centers in China, and collect baseline information for each patient. Multidimensional data will be acquired in follow-up assessments. Statistically significant clinical features in the UIA cohort will also be analyzed and integrated into the model for predicting risk of UIA rupture. After the model has been set up, the resultant evidence-based prediction will provide a preliminary theoretical basis for treating aneurysms at high risk of rupture. DISCUSSION This study will explore the risk of rupture of aneurysms and develop a scientific multidimensional model for predicting rupture of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Front Neurosci 2018; 12:596.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the potential morphological and hemodynamic risk factors related to intracranial aneurysms (IAs) rupture and establish a system to stratify the risk of IAs rupture to help the clinical decision-making. Methods: Patients admitted to our hospital for single-IAs were selected from January 2012 and January 2018. A propensity score matching was conducted to match patients. The morphological parameters were obtained from high solution CTA images, and the hemodynamic parameters were obtained in accordance with the outcomes of computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) simulation. Differences in the morphologic and hemodynamic parameters were compared. The significant parameters were selected to establish a novel scoring system (Intracranial Aneurysm Rupture Score, IARS). The comparison was drawn between the discriminating accuracy of IARS and the Rupture Resemblance Score (RRS) system to verify the value of IARS. Then, a group of patients with unruptured IAs was stratified into the high risk and low risk groups by IARS and RRS system separately and was followed up for 18-27 months to verify the value of IARS. The outcome of different stratifications was compared. Results: The matching process yielded 167 patients in each group. Differences of statistical significance were found in aneurysm length (p = 0.001), perpendicular height (H) (p < 0.001), aspect ratio (AR) (p < 0.001), size ratio (SR) (p < 0.001), deviated angle (DA) (p < 0.001), normalized average wall shear stress (NWSSa) (p < 0.001), wall shear stress gradient (WSSG) (p < 0.001), low shear area ratio (LSAR) (p = 0.01), and oscillatory shear index (OSI) (p = 0.01). Logistic regression analysis further demonstrated that SR, DA, NWSSa, LSAR, and OSI were the independent risk factors of IAs rupture. SR, DA, LSAR, and OSI were finally selected to establish the IARS. Our present IARS showed a higher discriminating value (AUC 0.81 vs. 0.77) in comparison with the RRS (SR, NWSSa, and OSI). After follow-up, seven patients were subject to IAs rupture. 5/26 in high risk group stratified by IARS, yet 7/57 in high risk group stratified by RRS. The accuracy of IARS was further verified (19.2% vs. 12.3%, AUC for the IARS and the RRS was 0.723 and 0.673, respectively). Conclusion: SR, DA, NWSSa, LSAR, and OSI were considered the independent risk factors of IAs rupture. Our novel IARS showed higher accuracy in discriminating IA rupture in comparison with RRS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Unruptured cerebral aneurysms pose a dilemma for physicians who need to weigh the risk of a devastating subarachnoid hemorrhage against the risk of surgery or endovascular treatment and their complications when deciding on a treatment strategy. A prediction model could potentially support such treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate a model for aneurysm rupture based on hemodynamic and geometric parameters, aneurysm location, and patient gender and age. METHODS Cross-sectional data from 1061 patients were used for image-based computational fluid dynamics and shape characterization of 1631 aneurysms for training an aneurysm rupture probability model using logistic group Lasso regression. The model's discrimination and calibration were internally validated based on the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic and calibration plots. RESULTS The final model retained 11 hemodynamic and 12 morphological variables, aneurysm location, as well as patient age and gender. An adverse hemodynamic environment characterized by a higher maximum oscillatory shear index, higher kinetic energy and smaller low shear area as well as a more complex aneurysm shape, male gender and younger age were associated with an increased rupture risk. The corresponding AUC of the model was 0.86 (95% CI [0.85, 0.86], after correction for optimism 0.84). CONCLUSION The model combining variables from various domains was able to discriminate between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms with an AUC of 86%. Internal validation indicated potential for the application of this model in clinical practice after evaluation with longitudinal data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Different hemodynamic patterns have been associated with aneurysm rupture. The objective was to test whether hemodynamic characteristics of the ruptured aneurysm in patients with multiple aneurysms were different from those in unruptured aneurysms in the same patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four mirror and 58 ipsilateral multiple aneurysms with 1 ruptured and the others unruptured were studied. Computational fluid dynamics models were created from 3D angiographies. Case-control studies of mirror and ipsilateral aneurysms were performed with paired Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS In mirror pairs, the ruptured aneurysm had more oscillatory wall shear stress (P = .007) than the unruptured one and tended to be more elongated (higher aspect ratio), though this trend achieved only marginal significance (P = .03, 1-sided test). In ipsilateral aneurysms, ruptured aneurysms had larger maximum wall shear (P = .05), more concentrated (P < .001) and oscillatory wall shear stress (P < .001), stronger (P < .001) and more concentrated inflow jets (P < .001), larger maximum velocity (P < .001), and more complex flow patterns (P < .001) compared with unruptured aneurysms. Additionally, ruptured aneurysms were larger (P < .001) and more elongated (P < .001) and had wider necks (P < .001) and lower minimum wall shear stress (P < .001) than unruptured aneurysms. CONCLUSIONS High wall shear stress oscillations and larger aspect ratios are associated with rupture in mirror aneurysms. Adverse flow conditions characterized by high and concentrated inflow jets; high, concentrated, and oscillatory wall shear stress; and strong, complex and unstable flow patterns are associated with rupture in ipsilateral multiple aneurysms. In multiple ipsilateral aneurysms, these unfavorable flow conditions are more likely to develop in larger, more elongated, more wide-necked, and more distal aneurysms.

Abstract
To evaluate the relationship between wall shear stress (WSS) magnitude and cerebral aneurysm rupture and provide new insight into the disparate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) findings concerning the role of WSS in intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture. A systematic electronic database (PubMed, Medline, Springer, and EBSCO) search was conducted for all accessible published articles up to July 1, 2016, with no restriction on the publication year. Abstracts, full-text manuscripts, and the reference lists of retrieved articles were analyzed. Random effects meta-analysis was used to pool the complication rates across studies. Twenty-two studies containing CFD data on 1257 patients with aneurysms were included in the analysis. A significantly higher rate of low WSS (0–1.5 Pa) was found in ruptured aneurysms (odds ratio [OR] 2.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.73–2.62). The pooled analyses across 14 studies with low WSS showed significantly lower mean WSS (0.64 vs. 1.4 Pa) (p = 0.037) in the ruptured group. This meta-analysis provides evidence that decreased local WSS may be an important predictive parameter of IA rupture.

Abstract
Background Characterization of the risk factors for rupture of very small intracranial aneurysm (VSIA, ≤3 mm) is clinically valuable, since VSIAs are implicated in subarachnoid hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to identify morphological and hemodynamic parameters that independently characterize the rupture status of VSIAs. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive VSIAs between September 2010 and February 2014 in our institute. A series of morphologic and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated using computational fluid dynamics, based on patient-specific three-dimensional geometrical models. Results We identified 186 patients with 206 VSIAs (73 ruptured, 133 unruptured). Univariable logistic regression analysis showed that bifurcation type, parent artery diameter, size ratio, time-averaged wall shear stress (WSS), maximum WSS, minimum WSS, and low shear area (LSA) were related to rupture status. Bifurcation type and larger LSA were independently associated with rupture status in multivariable logistic regression (p = 0.002 and p = 0.003, respectively). Conclusion Bifurcation type and larger LSA were independently associated with VSIA rupture status. Further studies are needed prospectively on patient-derived geometries prior to rupturing based on large multi-population data to confirm the present findings.

J Neurointerv Surg 2015; 8:808-12.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinical, morphological, and hemodynamic independent characteristic factors that discriminate posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysm rupture status. METHODS 173 patients with single PCoA aneurysms (108 ruptured, 65 unruptured) between January 2012 and June 2014 were retrospectively collected. Patient-specific models based on their three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography images were constructed and analyzed by a computational fluid dynamic method. All variables were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Two clinical factors (younger age and atherosclerosis), three morphological factors (higher aspect ratio, bifurcation type, and irregular shape), and six hemodynamic factors (lower mean and minimum wall shear stress, higher oscillatory shear index, a greater portion of area under low wall shear stress, unstable and complex flow pattern) were significantly associated with PCoA aneurysm rupture. Independent factors characterizing the rupture status were identified as age (OR 0.956, p=0.015), irregular shape (OR 6.709, p<0.001), and minimum wall shear stress (OR 0.001, p=0.038). CONCLUSIONS We combined clinical, morphological, and hemodynamic characteristics analysis and found the three strongest independent factors for PCoA aneurysm rupture were younger age, irregular shape, and low minimum wall shear stress. This may be useful for guiding risk assessments and subsequent treatment decisions for PCoA aneurysms.
