Well, the stent works by preventing the blood from going into the tear that caused the aortic section. It's a piece of fabric, so it's a cover, it's a piece of sheetrock in the wall, if you will. You put it and that way it stops a leak of blood into the new channel or the false lumen. And by that, with no blood going to the false channel anymore, the aorta might heal over time.
