Background Atherosclerotic plaque progression and rupture are believed to be associated with mechanical stress conditions,In this paper,patient-specific in vivo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) coronary plaque image data were used to construct computational models with fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and anisotropic material properties to investigate correlations between plaque wall thickness and both flow shear stress and plaque wall stress conditions.
