Vulnerable and stable atherosclerotic plaques are heterogeneous living materials with
peculiar mechanical behaviors depending on geometry, composition, loading and boundary …

The outcome of carotid artery stenting (CAS) depends on a proper selection of patients and
devices, requiring dedicated tools able to relate the device features with the target vessel. In …

In this work the mechanical response of the carotid arterial wall is studied. Some limitations
of previous models of the arterial wall are overcomed and variability of the fitting problem is …

Background and objectives Real-time blood flow variation is crucial for understanding the
dynamic development of coronary atherosclerosis. The main objective of this study is to …

Plaque rupture plays a role in the majority of acute coronary syndromes. Rupture has
usually been associated with stress concentrations, which are mainly affected by the plaque …

There is a growing interest in virtual tools to assist clinicians in evaluating different
procedures and devices for endovascular treatment. In the present study we use finite …

This paper presents the computational modeling of a variety of flow‐diverting stents,
deployed in a number of patient‐specific aneurysm geometries. We consider virtual device …

Atherosclerotic plaque in the femoral is the leading cause of peripheral artery disease
(PAD), the worse consequence of which may lead to ulceration and gangrene of the feet …

The assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability is a relevant clinical information that can help
prevent adverse cerebrovascular events. To this aim, in this study, we propose a patient …

Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is one of the leading causes of stroke. Treatments for
atherosclerosis can induce tissue damage during the deployment of an intravascular device …
