RISEffect of Plaque Composition on Fibrous Cap Stress in Carotid Endarterectomy Specimens
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Researchers agree that studies of human plaque mechanical behavior should seek to describe local tissue stress and identify plaque features that underlie stability and instability 123. Moreover, ...
Relative Contribution of Wall Shear Stress and Injury in Experimental Intimal Thickening at PTFE End-to-Side Arterial Anastomoses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background : Intimal hyperplastic thickening (IHT) is a frequent cause of prosthetic bypass graft failure. Induction and progression of IHT is thought to involve a number of mechanisms related ...
