Consideration of stiffness of wall layers is decisive for patient-specific analysis of carotid artery with atheroma

The paper deals with the impact of chosen geometric and material factors on maximal stresses in carotid atherosclerotic plaque calculated using patient-specific finite element models. These stresses are believed to be decisive for the plaque vulnerability but all applied models suffer from inaccurac...
