Official title:
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
Observational and prospective trial on medical data only. The patients are operated of planned aortic aneurysm without additional intervention. The preoperative cardiac MRI are planned in standard of care. ;
