Abstract
The authors used computer simulation to investigate the hemodynamics in 36 unruptured aneurysms on the first day the lesions were discovered; 12 of them later ruptured. Knowledge about any differences in hemodynamics at this early stage improves predictions about which patients will get a subarachnoid hemorrhage-a dangerous bleeding in the brain-and helps decide which patients should be treated in advance to avoid the bleeding.Entities:
