Abstract

This study aims to develop a testing methodology enabling the determination of mechanical properties of coronary arteries based on the example of porcine arteries using the MTS Insight 2 strength testing machine and digital image correlation (DIC). The conducted ballooning strength tests and static tensile tests revealed linear dependence between longitudinal and transverse strain of the arteries. The test results presented enable the evaluation and identification of the mechanical properties of porcine coronary arteries as well as prediction of the risk of the coronary artery rupture in the planned angioplasty and stent implantation procedures.
