The Influence of Material Properties and Wall Thickness on Predicted Wall Stress in Ascending Aortic Aneurysms: A Finite Element Study
Our study demonstrated the importance of incorporating patient-specific material properties and wall thickness in FEA for risk prediction of aortic dissection or rupture. Our future efforts will focus on developing inverse methods for non-invasive determination of patient-specific wall material parameters and wall thickness.
