Introduction: Patient-specific computational models are a powerful tool for planning
cardiovascular interventions. However, the in vivo patient-specific mechanical properties of …

Background: In the context of a growing demand for the use of in silico models to meet
clinical requests, image-based methods play a crucial role. In this study, we present a …

The analysis of mechanobiology of arterial tissues remains an important topic of research for
cardiovascular pathologies evaluation. In the current state of the art, the gold standard to …

Cardiovascular simulations are increasingly used for noninvasive diagnosis of
cardiovascular disease, to guide treatment decisions, and in the design of medical devices …

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture and erosion are the most important mechanisms underlying
the sudden plaque growth, responsible for acute coronary syndromes and even fatal cardiac …

Peripheral vascular disease is a frequently occurring disease and is most often caused by
atherosclerosis and more rarely by anomalies of the collagen or other components of the …

This work aims at identifying and quantifying uncertainties related to elastic and viscoelastic
parameters, which characterize the arterial wall behavior, in one-dimensional modeling of …

Quantitative estimation of local mechanical properties remains critically important in the
ongoing effort to elucidate how blood vessels establish, maintain, or lose mechanical …

Objective: Mechanical properties of healthy, aneurysmal, and atherosclerotic arterial tissues
are essential for assessing the risk of lesion development and rupture. Strain energy density …

Vascular mechanical homeostasis is a fundamental assumption in modeling vascular
