PIV Analysis of Haemodynamics Distal to the Frozen Elephant Trunk Stent Surrogate

ConclusionsThe identification of the Type 1B endoleak proved thatin-vitro modelling can be used to investigate complex compliance changes and wall motions. The recirculation may indicate the potential for long term intimal layer inflammatory issues such as atherosclerosis. These results may aid future remediation techniques or stent design. Further development of the methods used in this experiment may assist with the future testing of stents prior to animal or human trial.
