A 3D computational model with fluid-wall interactions demonstrates that severe carotid stenosis generates critical localized compressive and tensile stresses, which may contribute to plaque rupture and thrombus formation.

May inform carotid plaque rupture risk; hypothesis-generating in animal computational models, requiring human validation.
Tang et al. (2001) studied this question.
