Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), despite its advantages over abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) open surgery, still presents risks of failure linked to Endograft (EG) migration. We here explore the link between intravascular blood flow features and Displacement Forces (DFs) acting on the EG. DFs are inversely associated with the amount of helical flow within the EG.
