Original Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a life-threatening disease mainly occurring in carotid or coronary arteries. In case of carotid arteries, the rupture of fibrous cap encapsuling the cell debris, also known as lipid core, can induce a stroke. In clinics, the severity of the plaque is assessed only through the size of the stenosis. Computational modelling can help in the decision-making process and can bring deeper insight into the dilemma. The tissues both above the lipid core (referred to as fibrous cap) and beneath it are often not distinguished and specified as “fibrous tissue”. Although some publications suggested that both these tissues have similar mechanical properties [1], others recommend that plaque specific material properties are needed [2]. In this study, the potential difference in mechanical response between fibrous cap and original artery wall (media) is investigated combining histological and mechanical experiments.
