Comparative Study of the Effect of Structural Parameters on the Flexibility of Endovascular Stent Grafts

The complication of stent graft-induced new entry (SINE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) may be caused by the spring-back force of both ends of the stent grafts. Spring-back force, which is exerted by the curvature and ends of stent grafts on the greater wall of the aorta, suggests...
