Computed tomography–derived elastic modulus as a noninvasive marker of aortic wall integrity: Correlation with histopathology in the ascending aortaCentral MessagePerspective

Background: Ascending aortic aneurysms and dissections are life-threatening conditions often requiring prophylactic surgeries. Current guidelines rely primarily on aortic diameter for intervention; however, many dissections occur without severe dilation. Mechanical properties, such as elastic modulu...
