Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis and vascular remodeling after injury are driven by inflammation and mononuclear cell infiltration.

In this study we investigated the distribution and interaction between gene polymorphisms encoding proinflammatory molecules in an Italian population with internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). We also evaluated...
