Comparison of the biomechanical properties of decellularized arteries and native arteries. (A) Opening angles were significantly greater in native arteries compared with decellularized arteries. (C) The outer wall residual strain decreased significantly after decellularization. (E) The inner wall experienced little change in residual strain. (B), (D) and (F) revealed whether there was a significant difference in opening angles, outer and inner wall residual strain between decellularized arteries and native arteries, respectively. *Corresponds to a P < 0.05; **Corresponds to a P < 0.01; ns, not significant
