Abstract
Several cases of aortic endograft rupture have been described. In most cases, they stem from component wear and perforation of the graft, leading to leakage. Friction of the stents on the graft can cause abrasion and perforate the textile. This friction results from movements inside the endograft implanted in the aorta exposed to blood flow, arterial pressure, and the movements of the aorta itself. To study in vivo the movements of homemade stent grafts (HMSGs) designed and constructed by the surgeons at La Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), the displacements of the metallic skeleton of the HMSG after implantation were measured using a dynamic CT scanner connected to the patient's ECG. The geometric structure of the HMSG was modeled using MATLAB software to specify the different displacements in the HMSG: angular displacements (A) (in degrees) at the sutures between two eyelets, radial displacements (R) (in millimeters for absolute values and percentile diameter for relative values) describing HMSG pulsation, and longitudinal displacements (L) (in millimeters) reflecting compression movements. These movements differ from the global movements of the aorta in the Windkessel wave: they are movements between the different levels o...Continue Reading
