Fig 2. Inflow momentum as a function of vessel curvature (zero curvature corresponds to the sidewall aneurysm) from CFD simulation (Re = 128). Inflow momentum is calculated at the interface between the aneurysm orifice and parent vessel. The values for both untreated and stented models are calculated, but only the untreated models are labeled with values to show the difference between the straight vessel model (S) and the curved vessel (C) models.
