The purpose of this study was to investigate the wall shear stress (WSS) of offending vessels at NVCs by conducting a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors retrospectively analyzed the cases of 20 patients (10 with TN and 10 with HFS) evaluated by 3D CT angiography and used the imaging findings for analysis of the hemodynamic parameters. The 3D CFD images were directly compared with the NVCs determined by simulated multifusion images of CT angiogram and MR cisternogram, and operative photos. The magnitudes of the WSS (WSSm) at the proximal (WSSm-p), just-beginning (WSSm-j), contact site (WSSm-s), and distal (WSSm-d) areas of each NVC were analyzed. The ratios of the WSSm-j, WSSm-s, and WSSm-d areas to the WSSm-p area were calculated individually. The direction of the WSS (WSSv) and its temporal variation (WSSvV) were depicted and morphologically compared with the NVC confirmed by simulated images and operative findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The ratios of WSSm at the just-beginning and the contact site to the proximal area of the NVCs (WSSm-j\/WSSm-p and WSSm-s\/WSSm-p) were both significantly higher than that at the distal area (WSSm-d\/WSSm-p) (p &lt; 0.05). The WSSv and WSSvV at the NVCs showed small variation in a single cardiac cycle, especially along the areas that were in contact with the affected nerve.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Areas of relatively high WSSm and temporal variation of WSSm (WSSmV) were observed at the NVCs. Less mobility of the WSSv and WSSvV was detected along the side of the vessels in contact with the nerves. These findings may be consistent with the actual area of the NVC. Hemodynamic features of the site of NVC can be added to the preoperative simulation for MVD surgery, which may be useful for the diagnosis and treatment planning of TN and HFS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.1.jns172544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,6]],"date-time":"2018-07-06T10:02:44Z","timestamp":1530871364000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Hemodynamic features of offending vessels at neurovascular contact in patients with trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm"],"prefix":"10.3171","author":[{"given":"Toru","family":"Satoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Ryofukai Satoh Neurosurgical Hospital, Fukuyama, Hiroshima;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takanobu","family":"Yagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Advanced Biomedical Sciences, Waseda University, Tokyo;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keisuke","family":"Onoda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama Red Cross General Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masahiro","family":"Kameda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Postgraduate Medical School, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Postgraduate Medical School, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomotsugu","family":"Ichikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Postgraduate Medical School, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isao","family":"Date","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Postgraduate Medical School, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Circ J","first-page":"1983","article-title":"Vascular mechanobiology: endothelial cell responses to fluid shear stress","volume":"73","author":"Ando J","year":"2009","unstructured":"Ando J, Yamamoto K: Vascular mechanobiology: endothelial cell responses to fluid shear stress.
