Ex vivo evaluation of IVUS-VH imaging and the role of plaque structure on peripheral artery disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) results from the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the arterial wall, can progress to severe ischemia and lead to tissue necrosis and limb amputation. We evaluated a means of assessing PAD mechanics ex vivo using ten human peripheral arteries with PAD. Pressure-inf...
