This study shows late reperfusion therapy increases the infarct borderzone size and reduces stiffness gradients in post-MI rat hearts, potentially improving mechanical stability.

This study compares structural and mechanical properties of aortic tissue in a growing porcine model of coarctation with and without treatment, finding no significant differences in key parameters except for reduced interlamellar strength in distal tissue.

This study uses semi-automatic image analysis to show late reperfusion therapy reduces infarct border size and accelerates healing phases in rat myocardium.

This study develops a computational model to simulate aortic coarctation in rabbits, showing that vascular remodeling persists after correction despite hemodynamic normalization.
