Resulting stress contours on the outer surface of the Sylgard 170 AAA of Patient 1. Internal pressure for this case was (A) 120 mmHg and (B) the average rupture pressure for the Sylgard 170 silicone rubber (410 mmHg). Similar stress distributions were observed for both high and low pressures. In this particular case, the proximal anterior region of the AAA experiences the peak wall stress, with elevated stresses (shown as green areas) also along the midsection of the left, right and posterior walls. Model shown in the undeformed state.
