ABSTRACT
Numerical simulations of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) may be implemented in the preoperative workflow if credible and reliable. We present the application of a TEVAR simulation methodology to an 82-year-old woman with a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer in the left hemiarch, that underwent a left common carotid artery to left subclavian artery bypass and consequent TEVAR in zone 2. During the intervention, kinking of the distal thoracic stent graft occurred and the simulation was able to reproduce this event. This report highlights the potential and reliability of TEVAR simulations to predict perioperative adverse events and short-term postoperative technical results.
