Computational evaluation of an extra-aortic elastic-wrap applied to simulated aging anisotropic human aorta models

Structural changes occurring to the aortic wall can result in vascular stiffening. This is represented by a loss of vascular compliance during pulsatile flow, resulting in increased systolic and pulse blood pressure, particularly in populations aged 50 and over. Aortic stiffness is thought to be per...
