Image based biomechanics of coronary plaque

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2005:113:130-47.

Abstract

In this chapter we present recent developments in the modeling of coronary artery biomechanics. We first introduce the pathology and localization of lesions in the circulatory system. Recent fluid and structural modeling of CAD is presented and discussed. At the end of the chapter, we present recent effort in coupling these two modeling domains using fluid-structure interaction (FSI).
