    • Abstract:
      Objective: Blister aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare and are primarily documented in the literature through small series and case reports. The intraoperative observation of a hemorrhage in the artery wall proximal to the aneurysmal bulge led to the hypothesis that some of these aneurysms might develop in a retrograde manner.
      Methods: We developed software to reconstruct the ICA with and without Type I and II blister aneurysms using patients' imagery as input to simulate hemodynamic conditions before and after their formation. Kinematic blood flow data before and after aneurysm formation were obtained using a finite volume solver. We compared the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution of the arterial wall prior to aneurysm formation.
      Results: In two out of four cases, WSS was significantly elevated on the dorsal wall of the supraclinoid segment of the ICA at the distal part of the future site of the aneurysm sac, suggesting that the aneurysm sac may ultimately develop in a retrograde fashion. Once the structural changes have been initiated, WSS gradient (WSSG) was significantly elevated at the proximal and distal boundaries of the bulging aneurysmal pouch. Low WSS and high WSSG at the proximal part of the aneurysm sac seem to contribute to the extension of the proximal intramural hematoma observed during blister aneurysm surgery.
      Conclusions: By enabling assessment of the impact of elevated WSS and its gradient, our computational pipeline supports the hypothesis that the development of blister aneurysms may occur either in a retrograde or anterograde fashion.
