Hartman E, De Nisco G, Kok A, Tomaniak M, Nous F, Korteland S, et al.
Cardiovasc Res . 2022 Dec; 119(4):1021-1029. PMID: 36575921
Aims: Low wall shear stress (WSS) is acknowledged to play a role in plaque development through its influence on local endothelial function. Also, lipid-rich plaques (LRPs) are associated with endothelial...

Hartman E, De Nisco G, Kok A, Hoogendoorn A, Coenen A, Mastik F, et al.
J Cardiovasc Transl Res . 2020 Oct; 14(3):416-425. PMID: 33034862
High wall shear stress (WSS) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) detected lipid-rich plaque (LRP) are both known to be associated with plaque destabilization and future adverse cardiovascular events. However, knowledge of...

De Nisco G, Hoogendoorn A, Chiastra C, Gallo D, Kok A, Morbiducci U, et al.
Atherosclerosis . 2020 Feb; 300:39-46. PMID: 32085872
Background And Aims: Atherosclerosis has been associated with near-wall hemodynamics and wall shear stress (WSS). However, the role of coronary intravascular hemodynamics, in particular of the helical flow (HF) patterns...

Hoogendoorn A, Kok A, Hartman E, De Nisco G, Casadonte L, Chiastra C, et al.
Cardiovasc Res . 2019 Sep; 116(6):1136-1146. PMID: 31504238
Aims: Atherosclerotic plaque development has been associated with wall shear stress (WSS). However, the multidirectionality of blood flow, and thus of WSS, is rarely taken into account. The purpose of...

Kok A, Molony D, Timmins L, Ko Y, Boersma E, Eshtehardi P, et al.
EuroIntervention . 2019 Mar; 15(8):692-699. PMID: 30860071
Aims: Local wall shear stress (WSS) plays an important role in the onset of atherosclerotic plaque formation; however, it does not fully explain plaque progression and destabilisation. We aimed to...

De Nisco G, Kok A, Chiastra C, Gallo D, Hoogendoorn A, Migliavacca F, et al.
Ann Biomed Eng . 2018 Nov; 47(2):425-438. PMID: 30488307
Arterial hemodynamics is markedly characterized by the presence of helical flow patterns. Previous observations suggest that arterial helical blood flow is of physiological significance, and that its quantitative analysis holds...

Kok A, van der Lugt A, Verhagen H, van der Steen A, Wentzel J, Gijsen F
J Biomech . 2017 Jul; 60:175-180. PMID: 28736079
A rupture-prone carotid plaque can potentially be identified by calculating the peak cap stress (PCS). For these calculations, plaque geometry from MRI is often used. Unfortunately, MRI is hampered by...

Kok A, Speelman L, Virmani R, van der Steen A, Gijsen F, Wentzel J
Biomed Eng Online . 2016 May; 15(1):48. PMID: 27145748
Background: Stress calculations in atherosclerotic coronary vulnerable plaques can aid in predicting coronary cap rupture. In vivo plaque geometry and composition of coronary arteries can merely be obtained via intravascular...

Morbiducci U, Kok A, Kwak B, Stone P, Steinman D, Wentzel J
Thromb Haemost . 2016 Jan; 115(3):484-92. PMID: 26740210
Atherosclerotic plaques are found at distinct locations in the arterial system, despite the exposure to systemic risk factors of the entire vascular tree. From the study of arterial bifurcation regions,...

Kok A, Nguyen V, Speelman L, Brands P, Schurink G, van de Vosse F, et al.
J Vasc Surg . 2015 Feb; 61(5):1175-84. PMID: 25701496
Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are local dilations that can lead to a fatal hemorrhage when ruptured. Wall stress analysis of AAAs is a novel tool that has proven high...
