The Functional Limits of the Aneurysmal Aortic Root: A Unique Pressure Testing Apparatus

The aortic root has unique embryological development and is a highly sophisticated complex structure. In studies that report on the biomechanical characteristics of thoracic aorta, distinction between ascending aorta regions non-existent. This study aimed to determine maximal pressures at which dissection or tissue failure occur in both aneurysmal analyse any differences. may help guide preoperative monitoring, diagnosis, decision for operative intervention aneurysms normal susceptible populations.
