Multilayer stents affect the final diameter of aortic aneurysms and maintain renal artery patency for a short time in a swine experimental model

OBJECTIVES: We sought to analyze the hemodynamic effects of the multilayer flow-modulated stent (MFMS) in Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs).METHODS: The hemodynamic effects of MFMS were analyzed in aortic thoracoabdominal aneurysms Binoculars in experimental swine models.We randomly assigned 18 pigs to the stent or control groups and underw
