Fig 3 First Piola-Kirchhoff (PK) stress vs stretch response is shown for a thoracic aortic aneurysm wall sample (PaBAV6). The black lines denote finite element (FE) model prediction, and the gray lines denote in vitro laboratory experimental data. The curve shows typical nonlinear and irreversible features of vascular tissue. As an example, the definitions of failure stress and stretch are included for the FE model prediction. Similar definitions are used for the experimental data. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , 65-71DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2014 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 4 Mechanical properties of the thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) wall are shown for patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV; gray) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV; white). (A) First Piola-Kirchhoff (FPK) stress at specimen neck at failure. (B) Average test specimen stretch at failure. (C) Collagen-related stiffness parameter cf of test specimens. (D) Elastin-related stiffness parameter cm of test specimens. Box-and-whisker plots show median (horizontal line), 25% and 75% quantiles (top and bottom borders), minimal and maximal values (whiskers); and the + denotes outliers. The difference between the two patient groups is denoted by the two-sided p value; with n representing the number of samples in the group.

Fig 5 Correlation is shown between the First Piola-Kirchhoff (PK) stress at the specimen neck at failure with the wall thickness of thoracic aortic aneurysm samples. Data from patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) and tricuspid aortic valves (TAV) are pooled. The * indicates an outlier.
