Characterization of main pulmonary artery and valve annulus region of piglets using echocardiography, uniaxial tensile testing, and a novel non-destructive technique
Characterization of cardiovascular tissue geometry and mechanical properties of large animal models is essential when developing cardiovascular devices such as heart valve replacements. These datasets are especially critical when designing devices for pediatric patient populations, as there is often...
