We demonstrate that the material properties of the porcine aortic sinuses are not symmetric. The left coronary sinus is significantly more compliant than the remaining sinuses. Realistic modeling of the aortic root must take into account the asymmetric differences in tissue material properties of the aortic sinuses.
