Changes in aortic pulse wave velocity of four thoracic aortic stent grafts in an ex vivo porcine model.

Objectives: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been shown to lead to increased aortic stiffness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stent graft type and stent graft length on aortic stiffness in a controlled, experimental setting.

Methods: Twenty porcine thoracic aortas were connected to a pulsatile mock loop system.
