Biomechanical properties of the aortic root are distinct from those of the ascending aorta in both normal and aneurysmal statesCentral MessagePerspective

Background: Although aneurysms of the ascending aorta and the aortic root are treated similarly in clinical guidelines, how biomechanical properties differ between these 2 segments of aorta is poorly defined. Methods: Biomechanical testing was performed on tissue collected from the aortic root (norm...
