| Research Abstract |
In previous studies, stiffness of aneurysms reached a plateau at a stress (called yielding parameter) and this stress correlated significantly with rupture stress of aneurysms. However, the pressure range and the mechanical condition in this result was different from them in vivo. In this study, pressure-diameter test to mimic the mechanical condition in vivo was performed to rat aortic aneurysms, and significant correlation was found between yielding parameter and rupture stress even in physiological pressure. Moreover, to elucidate the mechanism of its significant correlation, degree of collagen fiber alignment in the aorta was investigated. The result indicated that yielding parameter was the stress when all of collagen fibers become straight. This may indicate that most collagen fibers are stretched and loaded at smaller stress, resulting in a smaller rupture stress.
