Outcomes of Prophylactic Wrapping of the Thoracic Aorta with a Polyethylene Terephthalate (ExoVasc®) Mesh: A Rat Model
Date: Friday, September 19, 2025
Time: 9:30 am
Presenter: Beata Kis, Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland Introduction: Aortic dissections, occurring at an estimated rate of 3 cases per 100,000 individuals per year, are medical emergencies associated with a high mortality. Thoracic aortic aneurysms leading to dissection and/or rupture are characteristic, but not exclusive, to known genetic disorders. While medical therapies may retard the enlargement, prophylactic surgical repair is mandated when the aortic diameter reaches a specific criterion. The newest, less invasive ‘exostenting’ offers a personalised external aortic root support (PEARS). We aimed to assess the possibility of prophylactic exostenting of the rats’ thoracic aorta, the time needed for Exostent incorporation, [...]
