	%X Biomechanical properties of infantile aorta in vitro in
cases of different standard anastomoses: end-to-end (ETE), extended
anastomosis end-to-end (EETE) and subclavian flap aortoplasty
(SFA) used for surgical correction of coarctation were analyzed to
detect the influence of the method on the biomechanics of infantile
aorta and possible changes in haemodinamics. 10 specimens of native
aorta, 3 specimens with ETE, 4 EEET and 3 SFA were investigated.
The experiments showed a non-linear relationship between stress and
strain in the infantile aorta, the modulus of elasticity of the aortic wall
increased with the increase of inner pressure. In the case of
anastomosis end-to-end the modulus was almost constant, relevant to
the modulus of elasticity of the aorta with the inner pressure 100-120
mmHg. The anastomoses EETE and SFA showed elastic properties
closer to native aorta, the stiffness of ETE did not change with the
changes in inner pressure.
