Table 4.

Peak wall stress (N/cm2) for two patient-specific AAA models exposed to patient-specific diastolic and average systolic pressures compared to average diastolic and systolic pressures. Stresses are shown for the initial CT image-based geometry (Sib) and the unloaded geometry (Sug). The percentage differences are calculated with respect to the average diastolic pressure loading condition.
