About the solution
1992年，泰尔（Tal）参与了一项遗传学研究，发现与其他马凡氏综合症患者一样，他的升主动脉在每次血流后都无法恢复，并随着时间的推移而逐渐增生。
2000年，在定期检查期间，他被告知需要考虑进行预先性手术。然而，传统手术是漫长而复杂的，因为它采用人造移植物代替升主动脉。另外，为了防止在更换的血管上形成血栓，患者必须在终生服用抗凝血药物。塔尔不喜欢手术后他未来的生活状态，因此他开始考虑替代品。
作为一名工艺工程师，他将自己扩大的主动脉与管道问题进行了比较，因此，他认为自己必须创造出像绝缘胶带一样的，可以缠绕在主动脉外面的支持结构。这是在软管膨胀时通常采用的处理方法。他与医生一道，设计了许多CAD模型，并开发了最终的原型，即ExoVasc®。
2004年，该装置在两小时手术期间被放置于Tal体内。
“建立技术和商业团队，筹集资金，开展项目并自愿成为第一个病人并不是那么容易，特别是当我知道项目的结果可能对我未来的健康产生深远的影响时“，他解释说。
ExoVasc®个性化外部主动脉根支持是一种定制的外部支持，与患者的主动脉完全匹配。它放置在升主动脉周围，并保持完好。由于血管和瓣膜保持完好，手术能够更直接地进行，并且不需要患者服用抗凝药物。
这个工程师通过他的公司 - Exstent来销售这款产品。
Tal于2015年获得患者创新奖。
