A Computational Model to Assess Poststenting Wall Stresses Dependence on Plaque Structure and Stenosis Severity in Coronary Artery
Figure 2
(a) Wall shear stress distribution at the luminal side of the plaque surface in the stented arteries with multiple struts. The fibrous cap has the medium thickness. (b) Velocity profiles at the center of every two struts and on the middle of struts. (c)–(e) Distribution of von Mises stress along the interfaces of fibrous cap-necrotic core (FC-NC), necrotic core-fibrosis (NC-F), and fibrosis-arterial wall (F-AW) layers, respectively.
