a Aortic wall cell death (indicated by percentage of TUNEL-positive cells) for 15 patients with varying maximal aortic diameters comparing regions of normal and elevated aortic WSS. Data presented are mean ± SD with * indicating p < 0.05 as determined by a Mann–Whitney U test. b Paired patient data were found to be significantly different (p = 0.00006) using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. c Summarized data. Data are mean ± SD with significantly greater cell death in regions of elevated WSS as determined by a Mann–Whitney U test (p = 0.0027)
