Identification of geometric and mechanical factors predictive of bird-beak configuration in thoracic endovascular aortic repair using computational models of stent graft deployment

Objective: Formation of a bird-beak configuration in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been shown to be influenced by various factors. However, the main cause of bird-beak formation remains poorly understood. The hypothesis has been that the geometric and mechanical properties of both...
