Fig. 7.

Box-Whisker plots of strains in the differentiated aneurysm areas (A1–A5) of all single section positions (Pos. 1 and Pos. 2) of all five mice (M1–M5). A1 and A2 describes the regions in elastin without and with adjacent thrombus (“Elastin w/o” and “w/ thrombus”). A3 describes the regions where fragmented elastin is present “Fragmented (Frag.) Elastin”. Similarly, A4 and A5 describes regions with varying levels of erythrocytes within the intramural thrombus “thrombus w/” and “w/o red blood cells (RBCs)”. * indicates a significant difference between groups at the 5% level with Bonferroni correction, - indicates no significant difference
