Biomechanical models have the potential to predict failure of atherosclerotic plaques and to
improve the risk assessment of plaque rupture. The applicability of these models depends …

It was found that bypass graft alone could achieve great effects in treating aortic dissection.
In order to investigate the mechanical mechanism and the haemodynamic validity of the …

The prediction of soft-tissue failure may yield a better understanding of the pathogenesis of
arterial dissection and help to advance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for the …

A cohesive zone model (CZM) approach is applied to simulate atherosclerotic plaque
delamination experiments in mouse abdominal aorta specimens. A three-dimensional finite …

Objectives: This study provides preliminary data on the safety and feasibility of the use of a
novel focal implant for managing post–percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (post …

It is well known that the organization of the fibers constituting a collagenous tissue can affect
its failure behavior. Less clear is how that effect can be described computationally so as to …

Arterial tissue failure leads to a number of potentially life-threatening clinical conditions such
as atherosclerotic plaque rupture and aortic dissection, which often occur suddenly and …
