Role of lipids and intraplaque hypoxia in the formation of neovascularization in atherosclerosis
According to the current paradigm, chronic vascular inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The plaque progression is typically completed with rupture and subsequent acute cardiovascular complications. Previously, the role of adventitial vasa vasorum in atherogenesis was underestimated.

The Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Was Associated With Intraplaque Neovascularization of the Carotid Artery on AngioPLUS. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The monocyte–lymphocyte ratio (MLR) is a hematological test parameter that reflects the status of both monocytes and lymphocytes as inflammatory cells. This study aims to investigate the relationship between MLR and carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) in patients ...

Carotid intraplaque neovascularization predicts coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events. [PDF]
Abstract Aims It is thought that the majority of cardiovascular (CV) events are caused by vulnerable plaque. Such lesions are rupture prone, in part due to neovascularization. It is postulated that plaque vulnerability may be a systemic process and that vulnerable lesions may co-exist at multiple ...

Endothelial ADAM10 controls cellular response to oxLDL and its deficiency exacerbates atherosclerosis with intraplaque hemorrhage and neovascularization in mice [PDF]
IntroductionThe transmembrane protease A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) displays a “pattern regulatory function,” by cleaving a range of membrane-bound proteins.

Inflammatory Neovascularization and Vascular Remodeling Associated With Carotid Plaque Destabilization. [PDF]
A subset of endothelial cells in the AC region promoted neovascularization, while the PA region exhibited an increase in osteogenic VSMCs, contributing to vascular remodeling. Fibroblast‐mediated inflammatory regulation was predominantly enriched in the PA region, whereas the AC region harbored more macrophage subsets involved in lipid metabolism and ...

Assessment of Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization Using Superb Microvascular Imaging in High Risk of Stroke Individuals: Results From a Community-Based Study [PDF]
Background: Improved stroke risk stratification may improve stroke prevention. We aimed to study the value of a novel Doppler method, superb microvascular imaging (SMI), in correlating plaque thickness and evidence of intra-plaque neovascularization with
