Static circumferential tangential modulus of human atherosclerotic tissue
TL;DR: The static circumferential tangential modulus of atherosclerotic plaque, unlike its radial compressive modulus, is not significantly affected by the degree of cellularity and calcification determined by histological characterization.

Circumferential Stress and Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 in Human Coronary Atherosclerosis Implications for Plaque Rupture
TL;DR: In unruptured human atherosclerotic coronary lesions, overexpression of MMP-1 is associated with increased circumferential stress in the fibrous plaque, and degradation and weakening of the collagenous extracellular matrix at these critical high-stress regions may play a role in the pathogenesis of plaque rupture and acute ischemic syndromes.

Computational structural analysis based on intravascular ultrasound imaging before in vitro angioplasty: Prediction of plaque fracture locations
Richard T. Lee,Richard T. Lee,H. Loree,George C. Cheng,George C. Cheng,Eric H. Lieberman,Nicholas Jaramillo,Frederick J. Schoen +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that intravascular ultrasound may not be useful for predicting the ultimate balloon inflation pressure necessary to cause fracture, possibly because of the variable fracture properties and microscopic structure of atherosclerotic tissues.

Prediction of mechanical properties of human atherosclerotic tissue by high-frequency intravascular ultrasound imaging. An in vitro study.
Richard T. Lee,S G Richardson,H. Loree,Alan J. Grodzinsky,Sina A. Gharib,Frederick J. Schoen,Natesa G. Pandian +6 more
TL;DR: Intravascular ultrasound appearance was most significantly related to biomechanical behavior when calcium deposits were noted; the differences in biomechanicals behavior between nonfibrous and fibrous tissue appearances were less apparent.
