Dynamic human cadaver model for testing the feasibility of new endovascular techniques and tools.
Endovascular device specifications and technical improvements are strongly required, especially in particular anatomical locations such as the aortic arch and the thoracoabdominal aorta. We present a new technique for total endovascular repair of the aortic arch and an experimental design of a circulation model in the human cadaver in order to evaluate the feasibility of this technique.
