Abstract
This paper evaluates numerically coupled blood flow and wall structure interactions in a representative stented abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA model leading potentially to endovascular graft EVG failure A total of 12 biomechanical contributors to possible EVG migration were considered The results show that after EVG insertion for the given model the peak AAA sacpressure was reduced to 142 mmHg 118 of plumen and hence the maximum von Mises wall stress and wall deformation dropped by factors of 20 and 10 respectively Thus an EVG can significantly reduce sac pressure mechanical stress pulsatile wall motion and the maximum diameter in AAAs and hence prevent AAA rupture effectively In the absence of endoleaks elevated sacpressure can still be caused by fluidstructure interactions between the EVG stagnant blood and AAA wall EVG migration forces vary from 14 to 7 N for different EVG geometries material properties and hemodynamic conditions AAAneck angle iliac bifurcation angle neck aortatoiliac diameter ratio EVG size aortouniiliac EVG and hypertension play important roles in generating forces potentially leading to EVG migration
