Objective Brain aneurysms comprise different compartments that undergo unique biological
processes. A detailed multimodal analysis incorporating 3D aneurysm wall enhancement …

Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of hemodynamic parameters on aneurysm
formation. However, the reasons why aneurysms do not initiate in intracranial arteries are …

Purpose The morphological and hemodynamic features of patients with vertebral artery
dissecting aneurysms (VADAs) are yet unknown. This study sought to elucidate …

Imaging techniques have evolved impressively lately, allowing whole new concepts like
multimodal imaging, personal medicine, theranostic therapies, and molecular imaging to …

OBJECTIVE Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are antihypertensive agents with potential
vascular protection effects. This study investigated whether CCB usage was associated with …

Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are the major type of cells constituting arterial walls and play a
role to maintain stiffness via producing extracellular matrix. Here, the loss and degenerative …

OBJECTIVE Relationships between aneurysm initiation and hemodynamic factors remain
unclear since de novo aneurysms are rarely observed. Most previous computational fluid …

Cerebral aneurysm (CA) is a significant health concern that results from pathological
dilations of blood vessels in the brain and can lead to severe and potentially life-threatening …

Traditional guidance for intracranial aneurysm (IA) management is dichotomized by rupture
status. Fundamental to ruptured aneurysm management is the detection and treatment of …

Background As subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (IA)
has quite a poor outcome despite of an intensive medical care, development of a novel …
