Purpose Spectral computed tomography derived virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) reconstructions have been shown to reduce stent-induced blooming artifacts thus minimizing in-stent lumen underestimation. We have investigated the use of VMI reconstructions to reduce the blooming artifact for stent markers, single and double stent configurations. Methods Two partially overlapping covered stents were deployed in a superficial fem...

Purpose Type II endoleaks (T2EL) are a common complication after endovascular aneurysm repair. AneuFix is a newly designed elastic polymer for T2EL. AneuFix contains tantalum for visualization during fluoroscopy, which is crucial for monitoring the polymer in the side branches. The purpose of this study was to find the lowest concentration tantalum that is sufficient for safe injection in the aneurysmal sac. Methods AneuFix po...

Purpose Vascular flow phantoms are an invaluable tool for in vitro and in silico studies, but their design and fabrication processes are often not reported. In this study , a framework is introduced to design and fabricate 3D printable high-fidelity cohort-based averaged abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) phantoms. Methods AAA geometries of 50 patients were segmented from preoperative computed tomography angiography scans. The se...
