Abstract
VSMC activation with phenylephrine had a significant effect on the stiffness of the pig AA. This effect was independent of location and direction. However, cell orientation, density and contractile properties were dependent on location and suggest variations in the remodeling capabilities, tissue strain and cell phenotype between locations.
