Mesh modelling of plaque model based on different configuration of lipid pool and calcification agglomerate at 70% stenosis. A: For plaque with no lipid pool (70% stenosis), the geometrical modeling uses N = 12928 for plane-strain elements. B: For plaque with constant lipid pool (of thickness 0.35 mm), N = 12712 elements. C: For plaque with constant lipid pool and calcification agglomerate (d _cg = 0.175 mm), N = 12123 elements.
