Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>This study characterizes the distribution and components of plaque structure by presenting a three-dimensional blood-vessel modelling with the aim of determining mechanical properties due to the effect of lipid core and calcification...
