Abstract:The clinical decision to establish if a patient with carotid disease should undergo surgical intervention is primarily based on the percent stenosis. Whilst this applies for high-grade stenosed vessels (>70%), it falls short for other cases. Due to the heterogeneity of plaque tissue, probing the mechanics of the tissue would likely provide further insights into why some plaques are more prone to rupture. Mechanical characterisation of such tissue is nontrivial, however, due to the difficulties in collecting… Show more
