The average tensile strength of BAV and TAV in CIRC and LONG orientations. ¥The strength of CIRC oriented specimen is significantly higher than LONG oriented specimen for both BAV (p<0.01) and TAV (p<0.01). **BAV is significantly stronger than TAV in both orientations (p<0.01). ATAA=ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm; BAV=bicuspid aortic valve; CIRC=circumferential; LONG=longitudinal; TAV=tricuspid aortic valve.
