Summary
Cerebral aneurysms (CAs) are out-pouching dilations of cerebral arteries caused by local wall weakening and maladaptive remodeling. Though rupture is relatively rare, the post-rupture survival rate is low, due to complications such as vasospasm and stroke. Since the majority of cerebral aneurysms are stable, the ability to predict rupture would both allow early intervention and eliminate unnecessary surgical procedures for stable aneurysms. Many computational models have been developed with the aim of predicting rupture based on correlation with clinically measurable factors, such as aneurysm
