Arterial delamination and crack propagation - the methodology of quantitative histology 2

Abstract

Histological analysis of structural propeties of human aorta can help to understand its delamination properties. Results of histological analysis will be compared with results of mechanical analysis.

In this part of project, we suggested methodology for histological processing and evaluation which will be investigated at three different locations: ascending aorta (AsA), thoracic aorta (TDA), and abdominal aorta (AbA).
