title: Dynamic human cadaver model for testing the feasibility of new endovascular techniques and tools.
abstract: 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.
