Computational Simulation of Respiration-Induced Deformation of Renal Arteries After EVAR.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (fEVAR) is widely used to treat complex abdominal aortic aneurysms, requiring renal artery stenting. However, complications such as occlusion can occur within the renal arteries. This study examines the effect of respiration-induced deformations, using patient-specific models and computational simulations. By investigating the impact of stenting and breathing, this research aims to improve surgical pre-planning and minimize EVAR complications.
methodsPre-EVAR geometries from CT scans were segmented and meshed. Respiratory-induced displacements were applied to the segmented ends of the renal arteries to simulate breathing. The deployment process was achieved via balloon expansion, testing bridging stent-grafts with different lengths. To evaluate the accuracy of the workflow, simulated results and post-op CT scans were compared using centerline analysis, measuring morphological differences between the patient-specific models and the actual patients.
resultsNumerical simulations accurately predicted renal artery movement during respiration, aligning with in vivo measurements. Simulated stent-graft configurations closely matched post-EVAR CT scans. Stent-graft protrusions into the aortic lumen were within the expected range, indicating correct positioning. Longer stent-grafts constrained renal artery movement, affecting branching angle changes, while shorter grafts had a less pronounced impact.
conclusionsOur novel digital twin model accurately simulates fEVAR procedures, including the deployment of renal bridging stent-grafts. Numerical simulations capture the bending of the renal arteries during breathing and their morphological changes following stenting in the post-operative configurations. Future research aims to expand the patient cohort and combine the solid mechanics simulations with CFD analysis.
