Biomechanics of the Aorta 1st Edition

Captivating, authoritative and clinically practical, Biomechanics of the Aorta, 1st Edition by T. Christian Gasser, Stéphane Avril, and John A. Elefteriades is an essential reference for anyone confronting aortic disease. This definitive volume blends rigorous engineering principles with clinical insight to illuminate how mechanical forces shape aortic health, aneurysm formation, dissection, and repair.

Readers will find clear explanations of tissue mechanics, material testing, computational modeling, and image-based assessment, all tied to real-world surgical and diagnostic decision-making. Detailed chapters cover arterial wall structure, stress–strain behavior, patient-specific simulation techniques, and biomechanical markers that predict rupture risk. Rich illustrations, clinical examples and comparative analyses bridge the gap between bench research and bedside practice.

Ideal for cardiac and vascular surgeons, biomedical engineers, radiologists, and researchers across Europe, North America, Asia and beyond, this book supports evidence-based care and innovation in device design, risk stratification and personalized treatment planning. Graduate students and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of aortic pathology will gain practical tools and a modern framework for interpreting imaging and biomechanical data.

Whether you’re developing models, planning interventions, or teaching the next generation of specialists, Biomechanics of the Aorta delivers the science and clinical relevance required to elevate practice. Add this authoritative resource to your professional library today and stay at the forefront of aortic research and care.
