Aortic hemodynamic and morphological analysis before and after repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm using a G-Branch endograft.

ABSTRACT: Background and objective: The G-Branch endograft is a novel multibranched "off-the-shelf" device used to repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). This report describes the hemodynamic and morphological performance of the G-Branch endograft in a human patient with TAAA. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the computed tomography angiography scans and clinical data of a woman in whom TAAA was treated using a G-Branch endograft. Patient-specific three-dimensional models were reconstructed, and computational fluid dynamics and morphological and hemodynamic indicators were analyzed before and after implantation of the device. Results: From a morphological perspective, there was an increase in cross-sectional area in the G-Branch endograft and all bri
