New stent design targets life-threatening complications in aortic dissection

Engineers have developed a specialized stent graft designed to prevent a dangerous complication where new tears form below the implant in aortic dissection patients. The computational analysis suggests the device could improve outcomes for a condition that kills thousands annually, potentially reducing repeat surgeries and hospital costs.
