Wall Shear Stress Predicts Media Degeneration and Biomechanical Changes in Thoracic Aorta

Wall Shear Stress Predicts Media Degeneration and Biomechanical Changes in Thoracic Aorta

Objectives: In thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) of the ascending aorta (AA), AA is progressively dilating due to the weakening of the aortic wall. Predicting and preventing aortic dissections and ruptures in TAA continues to be challenging, and more accurate assessment of the AA dilatation, identifica...
