Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening disease, which is difficult to detect
prior to the occurrence of a catastrophe. Epidemiology patterns of ascending thoracic aortic …

Arteries exhibit fully nonlinear viscoelastic behaviours (ie both elastically and viscously
nonlinear). While elastically nonlinear arterial models are well established, effective …

Current management guidelines for ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAA)
recommend intervention once ascending or sinus diameter reaches 5–5.5 cm or shows a …

Mechanical properties of an aneurysmatic thoracic aorta are potential markers of future
growth and remodelling and can help to estimate the risk of rupture. Aortic geometries …

Contrary to most vessels, the ascending thoracic aorta (ATA) not only distends but also
elongates in the axial direction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the biomechanical …

Local biaxial deformation plays a pivotal role in evaluating the tissue state of the ascending
aorta and in driving intramural cell-mediated tissue remodeling. Unfortunately, the absence …

This Special Issue of Biomedicines highlights many important scientific findings in aneurysm
research. The issue publishes a systematic, up-to-date review on aortic aneurysms (AAs) …

Mechanical equilibrium and homeostasis of the vessel wall are dependent on its wall-to-
lumen ratio. Ex vivo studies performing wall thickness measurements do not perform …

Local biaxial deformation plays a pivotal role in evaluating the tissue state of the ascending
aorta and in driving intramural cell-mediated tissue remodeling. Unfortunately, the absence …
