Why the study?
Does wall elasticity variation influence intraluminal hemodynamics in descending aortic dissections?
Does wall elasticity variation influence intraluminal hemodynamics in descending aortic dissections?
Wall elasticity is a major determinant of intraluminal pressures and flow patterns in descending aortic dissections, highlighting the need to consider it in clinical assessment and computational modeling.

Elasticity effects on aortic hemodynamics are hypothesis-generating in animal models; leaves open incorporation into human simulations and clinical assessment.
Rudenick et al. (2015) studied this question.
