May indicate acute thrombosis vulnerability at endarterectomy sites pre-neo-intima; hypothesis-generating for periprocedural antithrombotic strategies.
What are the sequential morphological changes at the site of carotid endarterectomy over time?
Post-mortem analysis reveals that carotid endarterectomy sites are most vulnerable to thrombosis in the acute phase before neo-intimal coverage occurs at 30 days.
French et al. (1974) studied this question.
