Relative strain is a novel predictor of aneurysmal degeneration of the thoracic aorta: An ex vivo mechanical study

Objective: Current guidelines for prophylactic replacement of the thoracic aorta, primarily based on size alone, may not be adequate in identifying patients at risk for either progression of disease or aortic catastrophe. We undertook the current study to determine whether the mechanical properties...
