Model simulations and final construction, including three-dimensional rendering of a preliminary model (A) with pressure sensor rings (B). C, Final constructed model showing the Arduino microcomputers (1, arrows) hooked up to the pressure sensors (3, arrows), distributed homogenously at the 12-, 3-, 6-, and 9-o'clock positions around the first two proximal stents of the endograft with the high-resolution camera (2, arrow) positioned proximally for image and video documentation of the consecutive endograft deployments. Finally, the polyethylene terephthalate graft (5, arrow) was sutured proximally and distally to two specifically designed 40-mm rings (4, arrow), each with 10 small holes, allowing for equidistant placement of the suture stitches.
