Anatomic and hemodynamic investigation of an occluded common carotid chimney stent graft for hybrid thoracic aortic aneurysm repair

We examined the possible reasons for common carotid artery chimney stent graft occlusion through computational fluid dynamics analyses of follow-up imaging of a patient-specific aortic configuration reconstructed from computed tomography aortography. Anatomic and hemodynamic parameters were extracte...
