Key result
Numerical simulation of the ring opening test in human ascending aortas allowed estimation of residual stress and its influence on vessels under normal and hypertensive physiological conditions.
Population
Human ascending aortas (four groups including both healthy and pathological arteries)

Simulation-based residual stress estimates in hypertensive aortas remain hypothesis-generating; leaves open in vivo validation before clinical consideration.
The study provides a numerical and experimental framework to estimate residual stress in human ascending aortas under normal and hypertensive conditions.
García‐Herrera et al. (2016) studied Healthy and pathological human ascending aortas. Ring opening test was evaluated on Residual stress distribution along the artery wall. Numerical simulation of the ring opening test in human ascending aortas allowed estimation of residual stress and its influence on vessels under normal and hypertensive physiological conditions.
