SummaryPrevious experimental and theoretical studies on the hemodynamics of saccular intracranial aneurysms have provided evidence that aneurysms tend to grow, thrombose and rupture when (1) wall shear stress and mural tension are increased compared to normal values, and (2) flow deviates from a laminar unidirectional pattern (for example flow recirculation). Aneurysm wall shear stress, however, is the only hemodynamic factor which has received special attention in terms of estimation. Additional flow-related parameters exist which could potentially bring increased insight into mechanisms for cerebral aneurysm behavior; they could also help categorize the severity of such malformations and design effective intravascular treatment techniques. The purpose of this paper is thus to present an overview of such hemodynamic factors that could assist in determining the geometries which present the greatest risks to patients. These parameters include (1) hemodynamic shear stress, (2) pressure and related stresses, (3) impingement force on the aneurysm wall, (4) inflow rate into the aneurysm, and (5) residence time of blood within the aneurysmal sac. In addition, these factors can also be currently estimated in an in vitro setting.

This work presents Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements in idealised and patient specific human carotid artery bifurcations (CAB) under steady and pulsatile flow. The geometry and corresponding boundary conditions were obtained by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and replicated in an in-vitro model. A complex three-dimensional flow structure exists inside the CAB and vorticity and wall shear stress data are used to quantify the differences between the idealised and patient specific geometry.

In the 1900s, researchers established animal models experimentally to induce atherosclerosis by feeding them with a cholesterol-rich diet. It is now accepted that high circulating cholesterol is one of the main causes of atherosclerosis; however, plaque localization cannot be explained solely by hyperlipidemia. A tremendous amount of studies has demonstrated that hemodynamic forces modify endothelial athero-susceptibility phenotypes. Endothelial cells possess mechanosensors on the apical surface to detect a blood stream-induced force on the vessel wall, known as “wall shear stress (WSS)”, and induce cellular and molecular responses. Investigations to elucidate the mechanisms of this process are on-going: on the one hand, hemodynamics in complex vessel systems have been described in detail, owing to the recent progress in imaging and computational techniques. On the other hand, investigations using unique in vitro chamber systems with various flow applications have enhanced the understanding of WSS-induced changes in endothelial cell function and the involvement of the glycocalyx, the apical surface layer of endothelial cells, in this process. In the clinical setting, attempts have been made to measure WSS and/or glycocalyx degradation non-invasively, for the purpose of their diagnostic utilization. An increasing body of evidence shows that WSS, as well as serum glycocalyx components, can serve as a predicting factor for atherosclerosis development and, most importantly, for the rupture of plaques in patients with high risk of coronary heart disease.

Conventional single pixel evaluation (SPE) significantly improves the spatial resolution of PIV measurements to the physical limit of a CCD camera based on the forward difference interrogation (FDI). This paper further enhances the computational algorithm to second-order accuracy by simply modifying the numerical scheme with the central difference interrogation (CDI). The proposed central difference scheme basically superposes the forward-time and the backward-time correlation domains, thus resulting in reduced bias error as well as rapid background noise elimination. An assessment of the CDI SPE algorithm regarding the measurement errors was achieved via numerous synthetic images subject to a four-roll mill flow. In addition, preliminary wall shear stress (WSS) measurements regarding different algorithms are also evaluated with an analytical turbulent boundary flow. CDI scheme showed a 0.32% error deviated from the analytical solution and improved the same error in FFT-based correlation correlation (FFT-CC) by 32.35%. To demonstrate the performance in practice, in-vitro measurements were implemented in a serpentine microchannel made of polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) for both CDI SPE and spatial cross-correlation. A series of steady-state flow images at five specified regions of interest were acquired using micro-PIV system. Final comparisons of the WSS regarding the Pearson correlation coefficient, R2, between the numerical schemes and the simulations showed that an overall result was improved by CDI SPE due to the fine resolution and the enhanced accuracy.
