Journal ArticleDOI
Compensatory Enlargement of Human Atherosclerotic Coronary Arteries
Seymour Glagov,Elliot Weisenberg,Christopher K. Zarins,Regina Stankunavicius,George J. Kolettis +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that human coronary arteries enlarge in relation to plaque area and that functionally important lumen stenosis may be delayed until the lesion occupies 40 percent of the internal elastic lamina area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsatile flow and atherosclerosis in the human carotid bifurcation. Positive correlation between plaque location and low oscillating shear stress.
TL;DR: These studies confirm earlier findings under steady flow conditions that plaques tend to form in areas of low, rather than high, shear stress, but indicate in addition that marked oscillations in the direction of wall shear may enhance atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reporting standards for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair
Elliot L. Chaikof,Jan D. Blankensteijn,Peter L. Harris,Geoffrey H. White,Christopher K. Zarins,Victor M. Bernhard,Jon S. Matsumura,James W. May,Frank J. Veith,Mark F. Fillinger,Robert B. Rutherford,K. Craig Kent +11 more
TL;DR: This work is presented for the first time to the Ad Hoc Committee for Standardized Reporting Practices in Vascular Surgery of The Society for Vascular surgery/American Association forVascular Surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis. Quantitative correlation of plaque localization with flow velocity profiles and wall shear stress.
Christopher K. Zarins,Don P. Giddens,B. K. Bharadvaj,V S Sottiurai,R.F. Mabon,Seymour Glagov +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that in the human carotid bifurcation, regions of moderate to high shear stress, where flow remains unidirectional and axially aligned, are relatively spared of intimal thickening.
Journal Article
Hemodynamics and atherosclerosis. Insights and perspectives gained from studies of human arteries.
TL;DR: Development of clinical techniques for relating hemodynamic and tensile properties to plaque location, stenosis, and composition should permit pathologists to provide new insights into the bases for the topographic and individual differences in plaque progression and outcome.
