Table 4 Effect of stent-graft Youngs Modulus

From: Fluid-structure interaction of a patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with an endovascular stent-graft

Stent-graft Young's Modulus (MPa)

Peak drag force (N)

Peak aneurysm wall stress (MPa)

Compliance at proximal neck (1 × 10-4/mmHg)

Compliance at maximum diameter (1 × 10-4/mmHg)
