May guide age-adjusted angioplasty pressures; leaves open need for clinical outcome trials.
In-vitro tensile testing of human coronary arteries demonstrates that mechanical strength and elbow stress decrease with age, providing biomechanical data that could help optimize balloon inflation pressures during angioplasty to prevent arterial damage.
J. M. Atienza (2010) studied Healthy coronary arteries (n=5). In-vitro tensile testing was evaluated on Circumferential tensile strength and elbow stress. In-vitro tensile testing of human coronary arteries demonstrated that circumferential tensile strength and elbow stress decrease monotonically with age.
