Patient-Specific CT-Based Fluid-Structure-Interaction Aorta Model to Quantify Mechanical Conditions for the Investigation of Ascending Aortic Dilation in TOF Patients

Figure 6

Stress distributions of the representative models: (a, b) the stress distributions of a patient from the nondilated group at the time of diastolic pressure, (c, d) the stress distributions of a patient from the nondilated group at the time of systolic pressure, (e, f) the stress distributions of a patient from the dilated group at the time of diastolic pressure, and (g, h) the stress distributions of a patient from the dilated group at the time of systolic pressure. The same color band used to better present the differences between the two models.
