• The influence of body positions and postures on the vasculature was predominantly investigated with US for vessel diameter and cross-sectional area. • Research into geometrical deformation, such as vessel length and curvature adaptation, that may be of interest for the (endovascular) treatment of vascular pathologies is limited in different positions and postures. • The most important clinical implications of postural changes are found in diagnosis, surgical planning, and follow-up after stent placement.
