Prediction of deformations during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair using finite element simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
During endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), the introduction of medical devices deforms the arteries. The aim of the present study was to assess the feasibility of finite element simulation to predict arterial deformations during EVAR. The aortoiliac structure was extracted from the preoperative CT angiography of fourteen patients underwent EVAR. The simulation consists in modeling the deformation induced by the stiff wire used during EVAR. The results of the simulation were projected onto the intraoperative images, using a 3D/2D registration. The mean distance between the real and simulated guidewire was 2.3±1.1mm. Our results demonstrate that finite element simulation is feasible and appear to be reproducible in modeling device/tissue interactions and quantifying anatomic deformations during EVAR.

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

This work presents an explicit FE method to compute the deformations of an aorto-iliac structure induced by the insertion of endovascular extra-stiff guidewires for the treatment of abdominal aneurysms. The mechanical model takes into account the nonlinear behavior of the arterial wall, the prestressing effect induced by the blood pressure and the mechanical support of the surrounding organs an...

Background and purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a localized enlargement of infrarenal abdominal aorta. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a surgical method introduced for AAA repair. This study, for the first time in Iran, investigated the complications and mortality rate associated with EVAR. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, medical records were reviewed...
متن کاملPatient-specific numerical simulation of stent-graft deployment: Validation on three clinical cases.
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms faces some adverse outcomes, such as kinks or endoleaks related to incomplete stent apposition, which are difficult to predict and which restrain its use although it is less invasive than open surgery. Finite element simulations could help to predict and anticipate possible complications biomechanically induced, thus enhancing practitioners' ste...

The presented work details the computer simulation of the deployment of a stent graft in a patient-specific Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) model, using the finite element method. The entire procedure is modeled, with the stent graft being crimped and bent according to the vessel geometry, and released in two steps. Deformations, external and internal forces during the procedure can be quantifi...
