A Computational Model to Assess Poststenting Wall Stresses Dependence on Plaque Structure and Stenosis Severity in Coronary Artery
Figure 1
(a) 3D schematic view of stent strut placed in coronary artery with three distinctive plaque layers as fibrosis cap (FC), necrotic core (NC), and fibrosis (F) attached to arterial wall (AW). (b) Sectioning the artery with axisymmetric plane AX, showing the two-dimensional axisymmetric plane used in simulations. (c) Mesh grid used in simulations.
