Modelling of Atherosclerotic Plaque for Use in a Computational Test-Bed for Stent Angioplasty

A thorough understanding of the diseased tissue state is necessary for the successful treatment of a blocked arterial vessel using stent angioplasty. The constitutive representation of atherosclerotic tissue is of great interest to researchers and engineers using computational models to analyse sten...
