Hemodynamic effects of size and location of basilar artery fenestrations associated to pathological implications

Fenestration is a rare congenital abnormality that refers to a segmental duplication of arteries. It is still not clear about the role of fenestrations in the etiology and pathological evolution of vascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the hemodynamic influence brought by various sizes and locations of fenestration in basilar artery models. A series presumptive fenestration models were established based on a normal basilar artery...
