Immune cells in carotid artery plaques: what can we learn from endarterectomy specimens?

CONCLUSIONS: Since the destabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque is a multifactorial process, a combination of various methods should be used to characterize the unstable plaques more accurately. In this context, studies characterizing plaque content from a cellular point ofview could elucidate some processes underlying the plaque progression. Together with morphological evaluation, these analyses could enable more precise assessment of plaque stability. PMID: 31782285 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
