BACKGROUND: Low wall shear stress (WSS) is predictive of aortic aneurysm growth and rupture. Yet, estimating WSS in a clinical setting is impractical, whereas measuring aneurysm geometry is feasible. This study investigates the association between saccular aneurysm geometry of the infrarenal aorta and WSS.
METHODS: Starting with a nonaneurysmal, patient-specific, computational fluid dynamics model of the aorta, saccular aneurysms of varying geometry were created by incrementally increasing the neck width and sac depth from 1 cm to 4 cm. The aspect ratio (the ratio between sac depth and neck width) varied between 0.25 and 4. The peak WSS, time-averaged WSS (TAWSS), and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were measured within the aneurysm sac.
RESULTS: Decreasing the neck width from 4 cm to 1 cm decreased the peak WSS by 69% and the TAWSS by 83%. Increasing the sac depth from 1 cm to 4 cm decreased the peak WSS by 55% and the OSI by 37%. The aspect ratio was negatively correlated to peak WSS (Rs -0.85; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: In saccular aneurysms of the infrarenal aorta, a smaller neck width, deeper aneurysm sac, and larger aspect ratio are associated with lower peak WSS.
