Bioeng.

The treatment redirects the blood flow towards the true lumen by covering the proximal dissection tear which promotes sealing of the false lumen. Despite advances in TEVAR, over 30% of Type-B dissection patients require additional interventions. This is primarily due to the presence of a persistent patent false lumen post-TEVAR that could potentially enlarge over time. We propose a novel technique, called slit fenestration pattern creation, which reduces the forces for re-apposition of the dissection flap (i.e., increase the compliance of the flap). We compute the optimal slit fenestration design using a virtual design of experiment (DOE) and demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing the re-apposition forces through computational simulations and benchtop experiments using porcine aortas. The findings suggest this potential therapy can drastically reduce the radial loading required to re-appose a dissected flap against the aortic wall to ensure reconstitution of the aortic wall (remodeling).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2024.1326190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]],"date-time":"2024-03-28T09:36:20Z","timestamp":1711618580000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Dissection flap fenestration can reduce re-apposition force of the false lumen in type-B aortic dissection: a computational and bench study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Aashish","family":"Ahuja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaomei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jillian N.","family":"Noblet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua F.","family":"Krieger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blayne","family":"Roeder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phan","family":"Haulon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean","family":"Chambers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ghassan","family":"Kassab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"513","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2018.00513","article-title":"Validated computational model to compute re-apposition pressures for treating type-B aortic dissections","volume":"9","author":"Ahuja","year":"","journal-title":"Front.
