Demonstrates in vitro feasibility of stent dilatation; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change aortic dissection practice.
Do endovascular stents successfully expand the narrowed aortic lumen in an in vitro model of aortic dissection?
Endovascular stents successfully expanded the narrowed aortic lumen in an in vitro human cadaver model of aortic dissection, demonstrating physical feasibility.
Charnsangavej et al. (1985) studied this question.
