This book originated as a senior design research project at the
Colorado School of Mines. Michal Schafer took a very active
interest in the acute aortic dissection after his surgical
rotations, so we set this project up to investigate the biophysical
aspects of aortic dissection and possible engineering perspectives
to a treatment. This project lead to a number of options for
treatment, and Michal's team is currently following up on one of
these options with an engineering company. Since this was an
undergraduate design course, the first goal of the course was to do
a thorough review of the topic and current trends in treatment.
This alone took almost a year. The students learned the basic
cardiac anatomy, physiology, physics, and biology to be capable of
understanding the literature and the science behind the acute
aortic dissection. With all this investigation, it was only natural
to combine the information into a book format to hand over to
others who will work on the project in the future. Our hope is that
this will lead to yearly updates of the book.
