In this in vitro study, we showed that aortic wall elasticity is an important parameter altering the false lumen. An aortic wall with reduced elasticity results in an increased false lumen diameter in the mid and distal part of the false lumen. These results can only be transferred to corresponding clinical situations to a limited extent.
