Effect of Geometric Accuracy at the Proximal Landing Zone on Simulation Results for Thoracic Endovascular Repair Patients

ConclusionsThe flow pattern and hemodynamic parameter distributions were affected by the geometric accuracy only in a small region near the proximal landing zone. The flow split was hardly affected by the LSA partial coverage, indicating that the coverage may have slight effects on short-term blood perfusion. However, this conclusion needs to be verified in future studies with larger sample sizes.
