Abstract

The article discusses the arterial wall mechanical behavior. Arteriosclerosis is caused by the formation of atheromateous plate constituted by proliferation and deposits of cholesterol in lipidic scratches involving thickening of the intima, which leads to a stenosis. Clinical complications are also related to the possibility of calcification eventually leading to a rupture, cholesterol embolus and ulceration of the thrombotic plate. Failure to obtain acceptable compliance may result in improper anastomosis and mechanical mismatch, which eventually lead to the failure of the implant .
