Fig 2 A, Calculated wall-thickness map overlaid onto aortic geometry. B, Stress contour map derived from uniform wall thickness (UWT) aortic geometry. C, Stress contour map derived from variable wall thickness (VWT) aortic geometry. Note the colocalization of areas with low wall thickness and high peak wall stress (PWS), especially in the aneurysm neck.
