| Main parameters in this study are: 1. Genetic parameters: gene expression (transcripts per million) of all genes specific to each arterial cell-type (detectable cell-types expected are vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, vascular fibroblasts). 2. Aneurysm hemodynamic parameters 4D MR flow parameters a. mean flux (ml), b. stroke volume (ml per s), c. derived biomechanical parameters including pulsatility index, arterial distensibility (mm Hg-1), wall shear stress (Pa) and oscillatory shear index. These will be determined both in the aneurysm and in the feeding arteries. 3. Aneurysm configuration parameters: aneurysm size (length, width (mm), aneurysm volume (ml) and aneurysm irregularity (more complex geometric definitions as surface area, eccentricity, compactness, shape index and curvedness). Main outcome measurements are: IA size, IA rupture risk assessment by the PHASES score.1 | — |
