Enlarged Anterior Cerebral Artery Bifurcation Angles May Induce Abnormally Enhanced Hemodynamic Stresses to Initiate Aneurysms.
To investigate the relationship of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) bifurcation angles with hemodynamic stresses for aneurysm initiation. ⋯ Larger bifurcation angles may lead to abnormally enhanced hemodynamic stresses, enlarged zones of direct flow impingement, and increased distance between hemodynamic stress peaks to damage the vascular wall for aneurysm initiation on the bifurcation apex wall.
