Abstract
A 74-year-old woman expired from ascending aortic rupture 3 months following branched zone 2 endovascular aortic repair. Multiparametric image-based computational evaluation of this case suggested that the stiffness mismatch between the endograft and the native aorta increased haemodynamic loads and likely led to the rupture of the ascending aorta. This under-recognized phenomenon should be considered in preoperative planning and presents suggestions for endograft development.Entities:
