Abstract

Reliable and simultaneous measurement of 3D mechanical parameters on segments of arteries in vitro is of great interest to study healthy, pathologic or cryopreserved blood vessels and to express a mechanical model. A novel instrumentation device allowing foreseen tests is described. Preliminary results are obtained on pigs and sheep arteries
