Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model
Background: This study characterizes the distribution and components of plaque structure by presenting a three-dimensional blood-vessel modelling with the aim of determining mechanical properties due to the effect of lipid core and calcification within a plaque. Numerical simulation has been used to...
