As (thoracic) endovascular aortic repair has become the dominant method in interventions of the aorta but still sees an unfavorable rate of short term and long term complications. Computational biomechanical modeling of such interventions has the potential of improving the planning process, the interventional process, the risk of complication assessment as well as serve as a tool for optimization of devices and procedures. Here, we provide an overview over the current state of research and literature on modeling of endovascular aortic repair in its various goals and point out the challenges therein as well as selected studies on verification and validation.     «
