Biomechanics in ascending aortic aneurysms correlate with tissue composition and strengthCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: This study correlates low strain tangential modulus (LTM) and transition zone onset (TZo) stress, biomechanical parameters that occur within the physiological range of stress seen in vivo, with tissue strength and histopathologic changes in aneurysmal ascending aortic tissue. Method: Asce...
