Abstract
The microstructure and mechanical behavior of porcine intestinal submucosa (PIS) are studied using biaxial mechanical analysis. It is shown that when PIS is implanted as a arterial replacement, the bulk of the collagen fibers are oriented in the longitudinal direction, which is opposite to the predominantly circumferential orientation of the elastic and collagen fibers found in blood vessels. The remodeling process is also investigated.
