Key result
A biphasic, anisotropic elastic model of the aortic wall accurately predicted vessel wall mechanics, showing the tangential modulus is approximately 20 times greater than the radial modulus.
A novel biphasic, anisotropic model of the aortic wall accurately predicts that aortic volume and specific hydraulic conductivity are relatively independent of perfusion pressure.

No immediate change to clinical aortic assessments; leaves open anisotropic modeling for future human validation.
Johnson et al. (2000) studied this question. Biphasic, anisotropic elastic model vs. Literature values of experimental measurements was evaluated on Predictions of vessel wall radii, thickness, and hydraulic conductivity as a function of intraluminal pressure. A biphasic, anisotropic elastic model of the aortic wall accurately predicted vessel wall mechanics, showing the tangential modulus is approximately 20 times greater than the radial modulus.
