DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2022.02.023
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Vulnerable carotid plaques are related to cerebral thromboembolic and ischemic events. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can induce endothelial dysfunction, and induce inflammation and coagulation. The aim of the present study was to… read more here.
