♦ Computer methodology: 3D computer models (center) of the thoracic aorta were built based on the CTA datasets (left). The CFD analyses (right) show a volume-rendering of the blood velocity for the preoperative model of the proximal descending TAA with a virtually-implanted endograft (above) and the postoperative model of a descending TAA after treatment with an endograft (below)
