Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed BRIDGE (Biodegradable aRchitected Internal DrainaGE), a biodegradable, 3D-printed gastric stent that could improve treatment for gastric leaks, a serious complication following bariatric surgery. By combining an advanced internal lattice design with biodegradable materials, the new device more than doubles drainage performance while potentially eliminating the need for a second procedure to remove the stent after healing, the resear

Researchers at New York University Tandon School of Engineering have developed a new stent to treat gastric leaks. Their prototype, called the Lily stent, is the first product of a design framework the researchers named Personalized Endoscopic Transmural Abscess Leak Solution (PETALS), a mathematical approach to optimizing drain shape for complex biological fluids that the team says could be applied beyond gastric leaks to other drainage challenges in the body. Overview of th
