High Wall Shear Stress Is Related to Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture in the Aortic Arch of Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: A Study with Computational Fluid Dynamics Model and Non-Obstructive General Angioscopy.

CONCLUSIONS: Aortic RP detected by NOGA was strongly associated with a higher maximum WSS in the aortic arch derived by CFD using 3D-CT. The maximum WSS value may have an important role in the underlying mechanism of not only aortic atherosclerosis, but also aortic RP. PMID: 33012739 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
