in-vitro elasticity tests clinical trials

Prospective Evaluation of the Biomechanical Properties of the Thoracic Aorta Coupling Magnetic Resonance Imaging and In-vitro Elasticity Tests in Patients With Ascending Aortic Aneurysm

This study looks at how strong and stretchy a part of the main heart artery (aorta) is in people needing surgery for a bulge (aneurysm). It uses special scans and tests to help doctors understand the aorta better and improve how they decide on and monitor treatments.
