Real‐time in vitro intravascular reconstruction and navigation for endovascular aortic stent grafting

Trans‐catheter endovascular stent grafting minimizes trauma and increases the benefitting patient population. However, the alignment between stent graft branches and vasculature branches remains time‐consuming and challenging, and such techniques require a significant amount of contrast agent for imaging.
