“False Aneurysms in Thoracic Aorta Likely Form Behind Suture Lines due to Aorta Impairment from Pulsations: Inflation-Extension Test Study”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38112456

The study using the inflation-extension test suggests that false aneurysms in the thoracic aorta are likely to form in the more elastic native aorta just behind the suture lines, due to the impairment of the aorta caused by numerous pulsations.
