Table 2.

Population mean values of material parameters obtained by fitting experimental data of all tensile tests on the inner and outer layers of ATAAs and used for FSI modeling. Material parameters are valid for stretch ratio below 1.3 for TAV ATAA and 1.45 for BAV ATAA, respectively. Data are mean ± SEM.
