  • Values shown in bold are statistically significant.

  • Normalized WSS is a ratio of WSS-aneurysm sac and WSS-parent artery.

  • AR, aspect ratio; EI, ellipticity index; LSA%, percentage of low WSS area; NSI, non-sphericity index; OSI, oscillatory shear index; SR, size ratio; UI, undulation index; WSS, wall shear stress area.
