To identify hostile hemodynamic conditions and geometries that associate with aneurysms instability and rupture, this study compares stable, unstable and ruptured aneurysms while controlling for location and patient characteristics. The hemodynamics and geometries of 165 stable, 65 unstable and 554 ruptured aneurysms were compared. Hemodynamics was modeled using image-based computational fluid dynamics. Case-control pairs were selected matching aneurysm location, patient age and gender. Paired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare hemodynamic and geometric variables between different aneurysm groups. The pairing was repeated 100 times and the combined p-values were calculated and adjusted for multiple testing. Ruptured aneurysms had lower minimum WSS (WSSmin, p=0.03), higher maximum WSS (WSSmax, p=0.03), more concentrated (SCI, p=0.03) and oscillatory shear stress (OSImean, p=0.03), higher maximum velocity (Vmax, p=0.03), and more complex flows (CORELEN, pmax=0.03) than stable aneurysms. Similarly, unstable aneurysms had more concentrated shear stress (SCI, p=0.04), and more complex flows (CORELEN, p=0.04) than stable aneurysms. Compared to stable aneurysms, ruptured aneurysms were larger (SizeRatio, p=0.03), more elongated (AR, p=0.03) and irregular (NSI, p=0.03). Similarly, unstable aneurysms were larger (SizeRatio, p=0.04), more elongated (AR, p=0.04) and irregular (BL, p=0.04; GAA, p=0.04) than stable aneurysms. No significant differences were found between unstable and ruptured aneurysms. Unstable and ruptured aneurysms have more complex flows with concentrated wall shear stress and are larger, more elongated and irregular than stable aneurysms, independently of aneurysm location, patient gender and age.
