Pressure-induced mechanical stress in the carotid artery bifurcation: A possible correlation to atherosclerosis

A possible correlation between regions of high intramural wall stress and the development of atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid artery bifurcation is investigated. The bifurcation geometry is determined through in vivo studies, as well as the analysis of cadaver specimens. Having compiled accura...
