This computational study analyses the mechanisms by which grafts, placed in the ascending aorta (proximal) and descending aorta (distal), affect arterial blood pressure.Vascular prosthesisCardiovascular blood flow1-D arterial modelNonlinear graft complianceWave reflectionCharacteristic impedanceThoracic AortaAneurysm RepairWave ReflectionVascular GraftHemodynamicsMigrationModelReconstructionStiffnesstext::journal::journal article::research article
