abstract：:Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the main cause of coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarcts. Currently, there is no animal model of plaque disruption. We have developed a rabbit model in which an atherosclerotic plaque can be ruptured at will after an inflatable balloon becomes embedded into the plaque. Furthermor...
