This study quantified local deformations of both stented ascending and native descending aortas to reveal the biomechanical impact of ascending TEVAR on the entire thoracic aorta, and reported that the ascending TEVAR muted cardiac-induced deformation of the stented ascending aorta and native descending aorta. Understanding of in vivo deformations of the stented ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending aorta can inform physicians about the downstream effects of ascending TEVAR. Notable reduction of compliance may lead to cardiac remodeling and long-term systemic complications. This is the first report which included dedicated deformation data regarding ascending aortic endograft from clinical trial.
