Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by being systemic, progressive, and unpredictable.1,2 When atherosclerotic plaques become unstable, cardiovascular events such as thrombosis or embolisation may occur. In patients with carotid stenosis, this may lead to the development of strokes, with potentially devastating consequences. Multiple studies have attempted to reveal the complex constitution of the unstable plaque, with remarkable knowledge acquisition and therapeutic advances over the last 20 years.
