Project Objective

_______________________________________________________

The main goal of GIFTED is to introduce new geometries of endovascular devices, such as stents and flow diverters, through the application of additive manufacturing (AM) technology. These devices are essential for treating severe vascular pathologies, such as arteriosclerotic aneurysms. The goal is to create highly performing solutions that can adapt to the specific anatomical needs of each patient. 

Innovation

____________________________________________________________

Through multi-physics simulations and optimization of digital twin device shapes, GIFTED aims to improve the functionality, strength, fatigue life, and ease of implantation of endovascular devices.

GIFTED not only aims to improve treatment options but also promotes less invasive implantable devices, such as stents, to facilitate rapid patient recovery and social reintegration. This not only has positive social implications but also contributes to reducing healthcare costs and the need for subsequent hospitalizations.

Social and Economic Impact 

____________________________________________________________

Thanks to AM technology, GIFTED paves the way for a future where endovascular devices can be customized to fit the specific anatomical needs of each patient. This could signify a fundamental shift in the management of vascular pathologies, offering more effective and less invasive solutions (National Recovery and Resilience Plan - A Personalized Future in Vascular Care).
