The overall goal of this procedure is to induce left ventricular hypertrophy by constricting the transverse aortic arch with a simple surgical procedure that doesn't require artificial ventilation. This method can help answer key questions in the

Minimally invasive transverse aortic constriction (MTAC) conserves the essentials of regular transverse aortic constriction (TAC) while eliminating the use of a ventilator with tracheal intubation. It proves to be a highly desirable method for high-throughput studies on left ventricular overload, particularly in translational studies.
