Vascular implants belong to a specialised class of medical textiles. The basic purpose of a
vascular implant (graft and stent) is to act as an artificial conduit or substitute for a diseased …

Endovascular treatment of aortic disorders has gained wide acceptance due to reduced
physiological burden to the patient compared to open surgery, and ongoing stent‐graft …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a vascular disease which, despite the fact that it shares
common risk factors with atherosclerosis, develops in parallel but as a partly independent …

The effects of thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) on the biomechanical properties of
aortic tissue have not been adequately studied. Understanding these features is important …

Background: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is performed in patients with thoracic or
abdominal aortic aneurysm because it is less invasive than conventional open repair …

Purpose: To evaluate the differential effects of endograft fabric types on pulse wave velocity
(PWV), a valid, clinically feasible marker of arterial stiffness, in patients undergoing …

Objective Increased aortic stiffness (AoS) has been recognised as a risk factor in the
development of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis …

OBJECTIVES: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) constitutes a valid index of arterial stiffness
osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteopontin (OPN) which are well-established vascular …

Objectives This study applied advanced 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging
processing to assess differences in aortic flow dynamics after valve sparing root …

Purpose To assess changes in pulse wave velocity (PWV), a valid index of arterial stiffness,
in patients undergoing endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) …
