Stress of neo-aortic root during diastole for all models. The neo-aortic root models from a to e show the maximum stresses of 96.29, 98.34, 96.28, 98.26 and 90.60 kPa, respectively. Increasing the DSTJ and SD within a range of 20% can increase the maximum stress for neo-aortic root, and vice versa. a Model A: DSTJ = 9.70 mm, SD = 12.30 mm; b Model B: DSTJ = 11.60 mm, SD = 12.30 mm; c Model C: DSTJ = 7.76 mm, SD = 12.30 mm; d Model D: DSTJ = 9.70 mm, SD = 14.76 mm; e Model E DSTJ = 9.70 mm, SD = 9.84 mm
