Table 1.

Mean ± standard deviations for age, body mass, and vessel geometry for the untreated control (n = 5), Ang-II treated without AAA (n = 5), and Ang-II treated with AAA (n = 4) groups. The outer diameter (OD), thickness (H) and length (L) are presented in the unloaded configuration, while the inner diameter (id) and thickness (h) are presented at near in-vivo conditions (i.e., at the estimated in-vivo stretch (λziv) and a pressure of 80 mmHg). (*) Indicates a significant difference at p < 0.05 for the measured value as compared to the untreated control.
