Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that may affect all vascular beds at different time points [1]. Although the atherosclerotic process is similar in all the districts involving endothelial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and inflammatory cell infiltration, atherosclerotic plaque composition may differ in one particular vascular bed compared with another one [2].
