Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Distinguishing whether forces resulting from the impingement of central blood flow streams at a curved arterial segment or at the apex of an intracranial bifurcation could be important for the understanding of aneurysm formation. Using finite element models, our purpose was to investigate the hemodynamics related to intracranial saccular aneurysm formation through computer simulations.
