The mechanisms that cause carotid atherosclerotic plaque to become symptomatic remain unclear. Evidence suggests that mediators of inflammation are not only instrumental in the formation of plaque but may also be involved in the rapid progression of atheromatous lesions leading to plaque fissuring,...
