Porcine coronary data require axial stretch in vascular models; leaves open human translation and clinical relevance.
Physiological axial stretch exists in larger porcine coronary vessels, varies linearly with vessel order, and significantly affects the pressure-diameter relation and wall stiffness.
Guo et al. (2011) studied this question.
