Digital twins could make aorta surgery safer and smarter
NCT ID NCT07640828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gathers medical images and health data from 5000 people who had TEVAR (a type of aorta surgery) to create computer models called digital twins. These models simulate the surgery to help doctors choose the best device and predict problems. The goal is to make planning more accurate and reduce complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * ≥18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) * Female and male * Received TEVAR for: Chronic or acute dissection, Aneurysm, Penetrating aortic ulcer, aortic thrombus, intramural hematoma or traumatic injury Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 18 years old * Received TEVAR in surgical graft that replaced native aorta * Poor CT image quality that leads to failure in generating a high-fidelity 3D FE model of patient anatomy (no preoperative multidetector contrast-enhanced CT-scan available, preoperative CTscan slice thickness greater than 1mm, preoperative CT-scan with artifacts, motion artifacts due to the presence of other implanted devices affecting the region of interest)
