A paucity of evidence exists regarding the efficacy of GATT in young to middle-aged adults. Our results highlight that this surgical procedure has good 1-year outcomes with an acceptable safety profile, supported by the significant IOP and medication reduction observed after surgery. With younger age at diagnosis of glaucoma being a predictor of surgical success, the pathophysiologic features of open-angle glaucoma in younger patients may be more localized to the trabecular meshwork, therefore making GATT a particularly suitable procedure for these patients. Resistance and elasticity of normal and aneurysmal aorta walls are directly associated with this vessel's growth and rupture. This study aims to experimentally analyze the biomechanical behavior of aneurysmal specimens found at autopsy, comparing them with normal diameter aortas removed from age-matched donors. Thirty-eight human aortas (30 normal aortas; 8 infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms) were harvested during autopsy. An apparatus was built with a digital gauge, plastic tray, connections, and hoses that conducted fluid (air) from a pump through the system. Specimens were dissected, and a flexible balloon was introduced in each of them to avoid leakage. The specimens were fastened on the test tray, and activation of the air pump enhanced system pressure up to their rupture. All 8 aneurysms and all 30 normal aortas specimens evolved to rupture under inflation pressures above 590mm Hg (mean±standard deviation=1,035±375mm Hg) and 840mm Hg (mean±SD=1,405±342mm Hg), respectively. In the aneurysm group, 25% of specimens did not rupture in their most dilated region. Percentage of increment in diameter was higher in normal aortas (mean±SD=0.2106±0.144) than in aneurysms (mean
