2.8 Unique patterns of elastin degradation in ascending aortic aneurysms in bicuspid aortic valve patients
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve patients (BAV) are associated with increased risk of ascending aortic aneurysms. However, is unclear whether matrix degradation varies in different ascending aneurysm aetiologies. Aim: To determine whether the micromechanical and biochemical properties elastin micr...
