P75 DIFFERENTIAL ELASTIN DEGRADATION AND MICROMECHANICAL PROPERTIES IN ASCENDING AORTIC ANEURYSM GROUPS: STATISTICAL MODELLING

Background: Elastin microstructure is an important factor in aortic aneurysms. However, it is unclear whether elastin microstructure varies in different ascending aneurysm aetiologies, and how this relates to micromechanical behaviour. Objective to combine in vitro experimentation and statistical mo...
