Ex vivo biaxial load testing analysis of aortic biomechanics demonstrates variation in elastic energy distribution across the aortic zone zero
Objectives We hypothesized that tissue characteristics vary significantly along zone zero,
which may be reflected by regional differences in stored elastic energy. Our objectives were …
