The mechanical characterization of blood vessels and their substitutes in the continuous quest for physiological-relevant performances. A critical review
During the last 50 years, novel biomaterials and tissue engineering techniques have been investigated to produce alternative vascular substitutes that recapitulate the unique elastic mechanical features of blood vessels. A large variation in mechanical characterization, including the test type, prot...
