An anastomosis performed in calcified tissues tears up faster than in healthy tissues. This study develops and validates an in vitro non-destructive method to distinguish healthy from calcified aortic tissues.An uniaxial unconfined compression test is able to distinguish healthy from calcified aortas (p < 0.01). The compressive E-modulus at a strain level of 10% is 227 +/- 34 kPa for artificially calcified and 147 +/- 15 kPa for healthy porcine aortic tissues. Calcified aortic tissues have a lower tensile strength than healthy porcine aortic tissues (p < 0.05). The ultimate tensile strength is 1.34 +/- 0.18 MPa and 1.55 +/- 0.31 MPa for artificially calcified and healthy porcine aortic tissues respectively. Calcified aortic tissues have a lower resistance to tearing than healthy aortic tissues (p < 0.05). The resistance to tearing is 1.78 +/- 0.33 N/mm and 2.16 +/- 0.64 N/mm for artificially calcified and healthy porcine aortic tissues respectively. (C) 2008 IPEM. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
