Abstract
The results indicate that development of atherosclerosis reduces vessel wall resistance to delamination. The greatest risk of dissection occurs at stage IV of the disease. In this case, energy values are lower by about 28% for the I-MAC interface and by 39% for the A-MIC interface compared with normal tissues. Lower values of mean force and energy were obtained for the I-MAC interface, indicating that this interface is more susceptible to delamination. The mechanical properties of the A-MIC interfaces are directional.
