Effects of Residual Stress, Axial Stretch, and Circumferential Shrinkage on Coronary Plaque Stress and Strain Calculations: A Modeling Study Using IVUS-Based Near-Idealized Geometries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate stress and strain calculations are important for plaque progression and vulnerability assessment. Models based on in vivo data often need to form geometries with zero-stress/strain conditions. The goal of this ...
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 ...
