We thank Dr Han and colleagues, and Dr Murakami and colleagues, as well, for their interest in our study 1 and for discussing our proposed pathomechanism of segmental aortic stiffness in the context of experimental and clinical aortic coarctation.We read with great interest the report of an alternative rabbit model that combines external elastase application with proximal aortic coarctation to model accelerated abdominal aortic aneurysm development. 2 Although poststenotic turbulent flow caused by experimental aortic constriction may critically contribute to aortic dilation in this model, aortic coarctation also results in segmental aortic stiffness and may therefore generate substantial axial wall stress during systolic aortic expansion that we believe is a critical driver of early abdominal aortic aneurysm development.
