Digital Simulation of the Delivery of Stentgrafts: Towards a Clinical Application

The endovascular treatment is a very common technique to treat aortic aneurysms. However, in spite of a sometimes long phase of preoperative planning, postoperative complications are not rare and secondary interventions are then necessary. Digital simulations of the delivery of stentgrafts (SG) could provide better tools for the planning of the operation, but they still require too computing time. Consequently, the aim of this study was to develop a methodology of simulation of delivery of SG effective and adapted to the clinical environment.
