Abstract:Background
It has been suggested that biomechanical factors may influence plaque development. However, key determinants for assessing plaque vulnerability remain speculative.
Methods
In this study, a two-dimensional (2D) structural mechanical analysis and a three-dimensional (3D) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis were conducted based on intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) data sets. In the 2D study, 103 … Show more
