Correlation between Stress/Strain and the Retention of Lipoproteins and Rupture in Atheromatous Plaque of the Human Carotid Artery: A Finite Element Study
We evaluated mechanical states in an atheromatous artery and correlated these values with both lipoprotein retention in a regionally thickened wall and the rupture of a luminal plaque. We used two specimens of common carotid arteries dissected at autopsy; one specimen had diffuse intimal thickening...
