Effects of endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic diseases on aortic hemodynamics UNIFESP Diego Gaia MD PhD drgaia@uol.com.br
Input impedance: in practice ? Z = P/Q
Wave reflection • explains patho-physiological changes in blood pressure • early return of reflected wave: ‘boost’ of systolic pressure • extra load on the heart • What is the influence of aortic prosthesis / stent-graft placement ?
Type B / DTA • PWV / Impedance / PP / Aix / Reflexion • Day before • During procedure • 1 PO • 7 PO • 30 PO • 60 PO • 180 PO • 360 PO
Pressure and flow: before and after endoprosthesis deployment Before After Pressure: Flow:
