The Role of the Mechanical Characteristics and Microstructure of the Porcine Aortic Wall: Implications for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture Risk
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents the increase of the diameter of the aorta by more than 50% in the absence of surgical or endovascular intervention. The risk of rupture and, therefore, mortality is increased significantly in AAA. The role of the mechanical characteristics of the AAA wall i...
