Wall shear stress for ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in the narrow-necked aneurysm group

Parameters Ruptured Unruptured P
Mean aneurysms WSS (Pa) 1.96 ± 1.30 3.33 ± 1.45 0.028
Highest aneurysm WSS (Pa) 9.08 ± 6.64 8.19 ± 3.69 0.720
Mean parent artery WSS (Pa) 7.85 ± 3.98 7.14 ± 3.08 0.655
Low shear area ratio (low shear area/dome area) 0.340 ± 0.308 0.093 ± 0.125 0.015
Highest aneurysm-parent WSS ratio 1.098 ± 0.388 1.174 ± 0.382 0.649
Mean aneurysm-parent WSS ratio 0.233 ± 0.120 0.474 ± 0.164 0.001

Normally distributed variables are presented as mean ± SD and were analyzed with the independent-samples t test. A P value <0.05 was deemed statistically significant
