Figure 10

Absolute shear stress on the aorta wall just distal to the renal ostium, shown over the fourth simulated cardiac cycle. RBA = 60°, DL = 3 mm, DA = 80° for the renal artery with a diverter present. The dashed line at 500 mPa (5 dyn/cm2) represents the threshold below which endothelial cells are said to be atherogenic (e.g. Silver et al, 2001).
