Age-related loss of distensibility in animal arteries; leaves open translation to human iliac biomechanics.
Aged human iliac arteries exhibit decreased distensibility and smaller axial in situ stretches compared to animal models, highlighting the need for human-specific biomechanical data.
Schulze‐Bauer et al. (2003) studied this question.
