Prospective Evaluation of the Biomechanical Properties of the Thoracic Aorta Coupling Magnetic Resonance Imaging and In-vitro Elasticity Tests in Patients With Ascending Aortic Aneurysm

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 200 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon · Academic / Other

Summary

The biomechanical properties of the aorta are currently poorly understood. A better understanding would optimize surgical indications and monitoring techniques for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Conditions

• Patient With Ascending Aortic Aneurysm With Surgical Indication for Replacement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Cardiac MRI	Preoperative cardiac MRI
OTHER	in-vitro elasticity tests	in-vitro elasticity tests performed on a segment of ascending aorta collected during surgery
