Chronic aortic root pressure-loading assessment model

Conclusions:
This animal model allowed successful serial pressure-load sensing assessment of the aortic root/annular areas, providing a better physiological understanding of these anatomical inter-relationships. This added information could aid in future device designs with potential improved clinical outcomes.
