Comparison of Blood Flow in Branched and Fenestrated Stent-Grafts for Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Conclusion: The blood flow rate in renal arteries depends on the configuration of the stent-graft, with an FSG giving maximum renal flow and a retrograde BSG resulting in minimum renal flow. Nevertheless, the difference was small, up to 0.09 L/min. Displacement forces exerted on stent-grafts are very sensitive to lateral neck angle but not on the configuration of the stent-graft.
