Biaxial and failure properties of passive rat middle cerebral arteries.
Rodents are commonly used as test subjects in research on traumatic brain injury and stroke. However, study of rat cerebral vessel properties has largely been limited to pressure-diameter response within the physiological loading range. A more complete, multiaxial description is needed to guide experiments on rats and rat vessels and to appropriately translate findings to humans. Accordingly, w...
متن کاملEffects of ischemia and myogenic activity on active and passive mechanical properties of rat cerebral arteries.
Passive (papaverine induced) and active (spontaneous pressure induced) biomechanical properties of ischemic and nonischemic rat middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were studied under pressurized conditions in vitro. Ischemic (1 h of occlusion), contralateral, and sham-operated control MCAs were isolated from male Wistar rats (n = 22) and pressurized using an arteriograph system that allowed control...
متن کاملMechanical properties of rat middle cerebral arteries with and without myogenic tone.
The inner diameter and wall thickness of rat middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were measured in vitro in both a pressure-induced, myogenically-active state and a drug-induced, passive state to quantify active and passive mechanical behavior. Elasticity parameters from the literature (stiffness derived from an exponential pressure-diameter relationship, beta, and elasticity in response to an incre...
متن کاملFailure properties of passive human aortic tissue. II--Biaxial tension tests.
Descending mid-thoracic aortas were obtained from 16 autopsies and biaxial inflation tests performed on the tissue at dynamic (approximately 20 s-1) and quasi-static (approximately 0.01 s-1) strain rates. A bubble inflation technique was developed for this purpose. Extension histories of the specimens were recorded photographically and values of ultimate stresses and extension ratios in biaxial...
متن کاملPassive biaxial mechanical properties and in vivo axial pre-stretch of the diseased human femoropopliteal and tibial arteries.
Surgical and interventional therapies for atherosclerotic lesions of the infrainguinal arteries are notorious for high rates of failure. Frequently, this leads to expensive reinterventions, return of disabling symptoms or limb loss. Interaction between the artery and repair material likely plays an important role in reconstruction failure, but data describing the mechanical properties and funct...
