Haemodynamics of Different Configurations of a Left Subclavian Artery Stent Graft for Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair.

CONCLUSION: Arterial haemodynamic characteristics are affected by LSA branched stent graft configurations, with pressure drops and energy losses likely to be clinically insignificant. The length of the stent graft protrusion into the aortic lumen generated the largest haemodynamic variations in the aortic system. Protrusions up to 5 mm have smaller risk of potential thrombus generation. Conversely, larger protrusions into the aortic lumen showed more disturbed haemodynamics, suggesting a greater risk of potential thrombus formation, which may be clinically important over time.
