Characterization of Vessel Deformations During EVAR: A Preliminary Retrospective Analysis to Improve Fidelity of Endovascular Simulators

The method was effective in characterizing real vessel deformations during EVAR. Results gave evidence of a relationship between the obtained deformations and the anatomical vessel conformation. These results may be useful to drive predictive models of vessel deformations during EVAR to be implemented in endovascular patient-specific simulators for improving their fidelity.
