Why is it important?

The model can be used to evaluate new stent-graft technol- ogies to treat type A dissection and facilitate training for surgeon

Perspectives

We believe that an ascending aortic dissection model, optionally pressur- ized, could be useful to compare results before and after implantation of new stent-grafts for ascending aortic pathologies.
