The procedure was technically successful in 100% of the cases and included additional iliofemoral stent implantation in four patients. Intraprocedural systolic blood pressure measurements for gradient evaluation were performed in 19 cases. Post-processed color-coded DSA images were obtained from all DSA series before and following fenestration. Differences in time to peak (dTTP) values in the compromised aortic lumen and transluminal systolic blood pressure gradients were analyzed retrospectively. Correlation analysis between dTTP and changes in blood pressure gradients was performed.\n<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Mean TTP prior to dissection flap fenestration was 6.85\u2009\u00b1\u20091.35\u00a0s. After fenestration, mean TTP decreased significantly to 4.96\u2009\u00b1\u20090.94\u00a0s (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Available systolic blood pressure gradients between the true and the false lumen were reduced by a median of 4.0\u00a0mmHg following fenestration (p\u2009=\u20090.031), with significant reductions in Stanford type B dissections (p\u2009=\u20090.013) and minor reductions in type A dissections (p\u2009=\u20090.530). A moderate correlation with no statistical significance was found between dTTP and the difference in systolic blood pressure (r\u2009=\u20090.226; p\u2009=\u20090.351).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Hemodynamic parameters obtained from color-coded DSA confirmed a significant reduction of TTP values in the aortic target lumen in terms of an improved perfusion in the compromised aortic region.
