Abstract

Hemodynamics is a discipline that studies the effects of blood flow,blood flow volume and other factors on the arterial wall.Intracranial aneurysm is the main cause of death due to non-traumatic subarachnoid hemonhage,which has brought a heavy burden on society.Therefore,it is very important to make an intensive study of the pathogenesis of aneurysm.With the development of medical imaging technology and fluid mechanics software in recent years,it becomes possible to make the precise and scientific studies of the hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysms.In this paper,the hemodynamic factors inducing the formation of intracranial aneurysm that are proposed by medical experts at home and abroad are reviewed,and the hemodynamic mechanism is discussed.
