Degenerative cerebral aneurysm walls are associated with aneurysm rupture and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Thin walled regions (TWRs) represent fragile areas that may eventually lead to aneurysm rupture. Previous computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies reported the correlation of maximum pressure (Pmax) areas and TWRs; however, the correlation with aneurysm rupture has not been established.

Bibliometrics

16468 global papers were identified that were cited 273500 times until 2013-08-15. The United States accounted for 31.497% of the articles, 58.64% of the citations, and the highest h-index (127). Japan and Germany followed in frequency. China's articles ranked eighth (third in 2012) in total number, with most of the contributions occurring since 2002 (91.33%). China was at the early stage of the logic growth curve (exponential growth), with the citation frequency and h-index per year increasing. The quality of the publications was low. The main research centers were located in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The main Asian funding body was the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The number of publications and frequency of citations of papers from mainland China was greater than that of Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Global intracranial aneurysm research has been developing swiftly since 1991, with the United States making the largest contribution. Research in China started later, in 2002. Since then, China has increased its rate of publication, and became the third largest contributor by 2012 1).
