Abstract
Patient 1 exhibited a more anisotropic mechanical response than Patient 2, with sample stiffness on par with that of adult PV tissue. Additionally, both samples showed radial and circumferential alignment of collagen fibers on the ventricularis and fibrosa sides of the leaflets, respectively. Collagen fibers on the fibrosa side were also more crimped than on the ventricularis side.
