Biomechanical Characterisation of Thoracic Ascending Aorta with Preserved Pre-Stresses

Mechanical properties of an aneurysmatic thoracic aorta are potential markers of future growth and remodelling and can help to estimate the risk of rupture. Aortic geometries obtained from routine medical imaging do not display wall stress distribution and mechanical properties. Mechanical propertie...
