New Findings from California State University in the Area of Endografts Described (Ascending Aortic Endograft and Thoracic Aortic Deformation After Ascending Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair).

A study conducted at California State University focused on quantifying the cardiac-induced deformation of the thoracic aorta after ascending thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The research, part of the GORE ARISE Early Feasibility Study, examined the impact of ascending TEVAR on the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta. The findings suggest that ascending TEVAR reduces cardiac-induced deformation of the stented ascending aorta and native descending aorta, potentially affecting long-term systemic complications and cardiac remodeling. This study provides valuable data for evaluating the mechanical durability of ascending aortic devices and guiding future interventional strategies. [Extracted from the article]
