Dataset for "Co-Localization of Microstructural Damage and Excessive Mechanical Strain at Aortic Branches in Angiotensin-II Infused Mice"

This dataset contains geometries and simulation files for the manuscript "Co-Localization of Microstructural Damage and Excessive Mechanical Strain at Aortic Branches in Angiotensin-II Infused Mice", to be published in the journal "Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology".

For each animal described in the study, the following data are uploaded:

[mouse name]_Strain.vtp contains the Eulerian strain estimation for each abdominal aorta mapped back on the ex vivo undeformed configuration.

[mouse name]_Scan.vtp is the abdominal aorta in the ex vivo undeformed configuration, as scanned using PCXTM imaging.

[mouse name]_Exitron.vtp is the distribution of contrast agent infiltration along the aorta (can be superimposed to the corresponding ‘scan.vtp’ file), which serves a surrogate for vascular damage.

The aortic partitioning described in the paper’s method section was performed on all of the above .vtp files for every animal. .vtp files can be visualized in the open-source Paraview or similar software, and used for centerline calculations using the open-source vmtk software.
