Figure 5: Peak longitudinal stress is elevated in patients sustaining TAAD.

Figure 5:

Peak longitudinal stress was quantified using finite element simulation of the computational models. Dissection patients were found to have increased peak longitudinal stress compared to non-dissected controls (a). There was no significant difference in peak circumferential stress between the dissected and control cohorts (b). Dot plots indicate individual measurements with horizontal bars serving as the median value.
