Aortic curvature remodeling after thoracic endovascular aortic repair: assessing device conformability, employing image vector analysis

Aortic arch curvature can be straightened by endograft placement. However, different measurement methods with dissimilar follow-up and endografts have been published. The aim of this study is to corroborate, for the first time, the pliability of the C-TAG thoracic endograft (W.L.Gore&Associates, Flagstaff, AZ, USA) into the aortic arch, utilizing different image vector analysis.
