Patient-specific simulation of endovascular repair surgery with tortuous aneurysms requiring flexible stent-grafts

- Stent-graft samples were mechanically tested and digitised by microtomography scan.
- FE analysis was used to model stent-graft deployment in patient-specific aneurysms.
- The methodology was first evaluated by simulating in silico an in vitro deployment.
- Simulations were then compared to postoperative images for two clinical cases.
- The quantitative comparison showed simulation accuracy in tortuous anatomies.
