A tissue-engineered model of the atherosclerotic plaque cap

Toward understanding the role of microcalcifications in plaque rupture

Rupture of the cap of an atherosclerotic plaque can lead to thrombotic cardiovascular events. It has been suggested, through computational models, that the presence of microcalcifications in the atherosclerotic cap can increase the risk of cap rupture. However, the experimenta ...
