Low ultimate tensile strain in atherosclerotic plaques is linked to the presence of neovascularisation: insights from <i>ex vivo</i> uniaxial tensile testing
2025-06-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Neovascularisation, the formation of new vessels within atherosclerotic plaques, has been associated with plaque progression and intraplaque haemorrhage. However, the relationship between neovascularisation and mechanical failure of plaques remains unclear. A better understanding of this link could improve rupture risk prediction beyond traditional reliance on arterial stenosis. <h4>Methods</h...
