The anatomic feasibility of thoracic branched endoprosthesis in the treatment of blunt thoracic aortic injury
This study demonstrates key anatomic considerations and models the suitability and optimal TBE inventory drawn from a real-world population of BTAI patients. Despite a vast device catalog for TEVAR, this study demonstrates that carrying three TBE aortic components, two TBE subclavian components, and three standard TEVAR sizes would treat 71% of BTAI patients.
