Multi-Layer Mechanical Model of Glagov Remodeling in Coronary Arteries: Differences between In-Vivo and Ex-Vivo Measurements
Fig 7
Best-fit smoothing cubic-splines through Glagov’s ex-vivo data (top row) and in-vivo data from the PROSPECT trial (bottom row).
In each case, more curvature is introduced into the best-fit curve by allowing k to increase: see Eq (33). A critical stenosis emerges for Glagov’s data, but not for the PROSPECT trial.
