Article Synopsis
- Some clinicians use endografts to partially cover the left subclavian artery (LSA) during TEVAR treatment to address issues with the proximal landing zone (PLZ).
- A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was conducted to observe the hemodynamic changes in the LSA following this procedure, revealing factors that could lead to thrombosis or arteriosclerosis.
- Results showed that covering half the LSA ostium increased local blood flow velocity, decreased wall shear stress, and created turbulent blood flow, suggesting that this approach could heighten long-term health risks such as stroke.
