Effects of Cap Thickness and Lipid Core Stiffness on Atherosclerotic Plaque Wall Stress
Rupture of atherosclerotic plaque is related to mechanical stress, plaque geometry and the material properties of plaque tissues. An idea three dimensional coronary artery with eccentric stenosis was modelled, and stress analysis with fluid structure interactions was performed using ADINA in order to investigate the effects of cap thickness and lipid core stiffness on atherosclerotic…
