Figure 6

Typical results showing contours of maximum in-plane principal stresses, as computed from a patient-specific TAV model in the fully closed configuration. Note that the peak stress occurs in the non-coronary leaflet near the commissure, as has been reported in previous studies (Christie and Barratt-Boyes, 1991).
