A Comparative Study on the Hemodynamic Performance Within Cross and Non-cross Stent-Grafts for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms With an Angulated Neck
Objectives: Cross-limb stent grafts for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) are often employed for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with significant aortic neck angulation. Neck angulation may be coronal or sagittal; however, previous hemodynamic studies of cross-limb EVAR stent grafts (SGs) primar...
