We analyzed energy loss in normal subjects, patients in pre- and post- endovascular aortic repair. Patients had vortices in dilated flow path in pretreatment and tortuous high-velocity streamlines in posttreatment. Energy loss of posttreatment was higher than that of pretreatment. Energy loss would be affected most effectively by the change of the flow direction.
