Background: Hemodynamic factors play an important role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Blood viscosity has been recognized as a potential factor influencing the hemodynamics of aneurysms. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is one of the main methods to study aneurysm hemodynamics. However, current CFD studies often set the viscosity to a standard value, neglecting the effect of individualized viscosity on hemodynamics. We investigate the impact of blood viscosity on hemodynamics in large intracranial aneurysm (IA) and assess the potential implications for aneurysm growth and rupture risk.<br /> Methods: CFD simulations of 8 unruptured large internal carotid artery aneurysms were conducted using pulsatile inlet conditions. For each aneurysm, CFD simulations were performed at 5 different viscosity levels (0.004, 0.006, 0.008, 0.010, and 0.012 Pa & sdot;s). Differences in hemodynamic parameters across viscosity levels were compared using paired t-tests, and the correlation between viscosity and hemodynamic parameters was analyzed. Results: Increasing blood viscosity leads to significant decrease in blood flow velocity within aneurysms. Timeaveraged wall shear stress (WSS) showed significant positive correlation with viscosity, particularly at the aneurysm neck. Oscillatory shear index (OSI) showed general decreasing trend with increased viscosity, while it displayed an irregular pattern in a few cases. Conclusions: Variations in viscosity markedly influence velocity, WSS, and OSI in aneurysms, suggesting a role in modulating aneurysm growth and rupture risk. Incorporating patient-specific viscosity values in CFD simulations is vital for accurate and reliable outcomes.
