Popis: Unstable plaques are undergoing thrombosis which, in most instances, is due to Assuring and rupture of the plaque cap. This process (deep intimal injury) is a complication of plaques with a lipid-rich core. The cap tear allows blood to enter the core from the lumen, leading initially to intraplaque thrombosis and, subsequently, in some cases intraluminal thrombosis.
