Biological response of the aortic wall was assessed in five minipigs (weight, 38\u201340 kg) that underwent thoracic aorta clamping and leakage point test. Immunohistochemistry and morphometric analysis were carried out for each aortic segment tested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Force generation pattern is peculiar of each clamp, being higher in the proximal and the middle portion and lower in the distal part. One clamp (Cygnet) exhibited homogeneous maximal force generation at all three sites. All clamps exhibited peculiar crushing artifacts. A variable degree of endothelial layer disruption occurred in all clamping tests; three clamps (CV 195.10, Cygnet, and Geister) had the lower amount of intact endothelium. The clamping force was not associated with the degree of endothelial disruption (P value was not significant).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The choice of a clamp that is not only minimally invasive in design but also least traumatic will help avoid complications of aortic manipulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/imi.0b013e31828d4903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,9]],"date-time":"2013-04-09T09:37:15Z","timestamp":1365500235000},"page":"42-49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Mechanical Properties and Biological Interaction of Aortic Clamps: Are These All Minimally Invasive?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Bianchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Ospedaliero e di Ricerca CREAS IFC CNR\u2013Massa, Ospedale del Cuore \u201cG.
