Wall shear stress and pressure patterns in aortic stenosis patients with and without aortic dilation captured by high-performance image-based computational fluid dynamics
Fig 9
Wall pressure maps for instances 3QA, PF, QD, MD are shown for patient-specific cases TAVI0, TAVI1 and TAVI2 as well as the Idealized case Idealized.
A persistent zone of high pressure, which corresponds to a high wall shear stress zone (cf. Fig 4), is observed on the ascending aorta for cases TAVI0 and Idealized, but not for the cases TAVI1 and TAVI2.
