Haemodynamic factors in the formation and development of saccular aneurysms have been widely studied. Saccular aneurysms could appear and grow at the side of the increased blood flow. The effects of contralateral carotid ligation on the formation and growth of our experimental saccular aneurysms were studied. Measurement and pathological examination showed that the haemodynamic changes could facilitate the development of saccular aneurysms, but by itself could not bring about their formation.
