Optimalization of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair by dynamic imaging studies

Abstract

Over the last two decades, endovascular (thoracic) aortic repair ((T)EVAR) has become an established alternative to open repair for several aortic diseases. This thesis was planned to contain research on endovascular treatment of aortic pathology at two different anatomical areas. Part 1 of the thesis contains research to improve the endovascular treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms and Part 2 aims to enhance the knowledge and treatment of acute dissections of the Descending Thoracic Aorta
