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...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to capture the hemodynamic information, and the differences were compared.Results: With regards to the pressure drop index, the maximum difference caused by the configuration and angular direction was 4.6 and 8.0%, respectively, but the difference resulting from the change in aneurysm neck angle can reach 27.1%. With regards to the SAR-TAWSS index, the maximum difference caused by the configuration and angular direction was 7.8 and 9.8%, respectively, but the difference resulting from the change in aneurysm neck angle can reach 26.7%.

However, when the aneurysm neck angle is greater than 45°, the hemodynamic differences of each model at the same aneurysm neck angle are reduced.Conclusion: The main factor affecting the hemodynamic index was the angle of the aneurysm neck, while the configuration and angular direction had little effect on the hemodynamics.
