RISMass Transport of Low Density Lipoprotein in Reconstructed Hemodynamic Environments of Human Carotid Arteries: The Role of Volume and Solute Flux Through the Endothelium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accumulation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the arterial intima is a critical step in the initiation and progression of atheromatous lesions. In this study we examine subjectspecific LDL transport into the intima ...
Combining IVUS and Optical Coherence Tomography for More Accurate Coronary Cap Thickness Quantification and Stress/Strain Calculations: A Patient-Specific Three-Dimensional Fluid-Structure Interaction Modeling Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate cap thickness and stress/strain quantifications are of fundamental importance for vulnerable plaque research. Virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) sets cap thickness to zero when cap is under ...
Optical Coherence Tomography-Based Patient-Specific Residual Multi-Thrombus Coronary Plaque Models With Fluid–Structure Interaction for Better Treatment Decisions: A Biomechanical Modeling Case Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intracoronary thrombus from plaque erosion could cause fatal acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A conservative antithrombotic therapy has been proposed to treat ACS patients in lieu of stenting. It is speculated that the ...
