Description
Zain Moin, Alayne Morrel, and Maham Rahimi test a new tool for removing artery grafts in a 2026 simulation study. A graft placed inside the aorta, the body's main artery, sometimes must come out. That removal is risky, and tearing forces on the wall are one cause of harm. The team compared a standard syringe method with a new device called EndoEx, built around how the graft grips the wall.
Twenty-five trainees and surgeons tried both methods on a printed model of the aorta. The new device cut wall lining harm by about 90 percent. It took about 32 seconds longer per run. Users rated it better on ease, felt safety, and mental load. The authors call for tests in living tissue next.
