  • Effectiveness and predictive value of computer finite element modeling of thoracic endovascular aortic repair based on hemodynamics

    Objective To explore the effectiveness and predictive value of computer simulated thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Methods The clinical data of the patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection who underwent TEVAR from February 2019 to February 2022 in our hospital was collected. According to whether there was residual false cavity around the stent about 1 week after TEVAR, the patients were divided into a false cavity closure group and a false cavity residual group. Based on computer simulation, personalized design and three-dimensional construction of the stent framework and covering were carried out. After the stent framework and membrane were assembled, they were pressed and placed into the reconstructed aortic dissection model. TEVAR computer simulation was performed, and the simulation results were analyzed for hemodynamics to obtain the maximum blood flow velocity and maximum wall shear stress at the false lumen outlet level at the peak systolic velocity of the ventricle, which were compared with the real hemodynamic data of the patient after TEVAR surgery. The impact of hemodynamics on the residual false lumen around the stent in the near future based on computer simulation of hemodynamic data after TEVAR surgery was further explored. Results Finally a total of 28 patients were collected, including 24 males and 4 females aged 53.390±11.020 years. There were 18 patients in the false cavity closure group, and 10 patients in the false cavity residual group. The error rate of shear stress of the distal decompression port of the false cavity after computer simulation TEVAR was 6%-25%, and the error rate of blood flow velocity was 3%-31%. There was no statistical difference in age, proportion of male, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, smoking history, prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplatin time at admission between the two groups (all P>0.05). The blood flow velocity and shear stress after TEVAR were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The maximum shear stress (OR=1.823, P=0.010) of the false cavity at the level of the distal decompression port after simulated TEVAR was an independent risk factor for the residual false cavity around the stent. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve corresponding to the maximum shear stress of false cavity at the level of distal decompression port after simulated TEVAR was 0.872, the best cross-sectional value was 8.469 Pa, and the sensitivity and specificity were 90.0% and 83.3%, respectively. Conclusion Computers can effectively simulate TEVAR and perform hemodynamic analysis before and after TEVAR surgery through simulation. Maximum shear stress at the decompression port of the distal end of the false cavity is an independent risk factor for the residual false cavity around the stent. When it is greater than 8.469 Pa, the probability of residual false cavity around the stent increases greatly.
