Fig. 3

The wall stress in the model of an aneurysm of the ascending aorta subjected to systolic aortic stretching of 0 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm. In the upper row, the models were subjected to arterial blood pressure of 120 mmHg, whereas in the lower row they were subjected to 160 mmHg. On the left, the models have an elastic wall, whereas the models on the right have a stiff wall. The colors represent peak wall stress in MPa
