Modeling of Mechanical Stress Exerted by Cholesterol Crystallization on Atherosclerotic Plaques by Luo, Yuemei, Cui, Dongyao, Yu, Xiaojun, Chen, Si, Liu, Xinyu, Tang, Hongying, Wang, Xianghong, Liu, Linbo

“…We developed a two-dimensional finite element method model of atherosclerotic plaques containing expanding cholesterol crystals and investigated the effect of the magnitude and distribution of crystallization on the peak circumferential stress born by the cap. Using micro-optical coherence tomography (μOCT), we extracted the cross-sectional geometric information of cholesterol crystals in human atherosclerotic aorta tissue ex vivo and applied the information to the model. …”
