Evaluation of Elastic Properties of Ascending Aorta

February 14, 2022 updated by: MORGANT Marie-Catherine, Centre Hospitalier La Chartreuse

Elastic Properties of the Ascending Aorta Evaluated by Imaging and Biaxial Testing

The aim of our study is to assess a correlation between local patient specific elastic modulus distribution of the ascending aorta from a biaxial tensile test and MRI measurements of the elastic properties of the aorta.

A total of 70 patients referred for ascending aorta (AA) replacement underwent a preoperative cardiac-MRI for the evaluation the elastic properties and ascending aorta tissue was collected for biaxial testing to obtain maximum elastic modulus

Study Overview

Time Frame: biaxial testing performing between 1 and 6 hours after procedure
maximum elastic modulus is a local measurement of elastic properties which is obtained by biaxial testing
biaxial testing performing between 1 and 6 hours after procedure
