The characteristic histopathological features of “plaque erosion” have been extensively
unveiled ever since its first description more than 20 years ago [
[1]
]. Since then, the interest of both fundamental and clinical scientists working in
atherosclerosis has kept rising, as reflected by the ever-growing number of articles
published in this field. Yet, the effective impact of this entity, as well as its
underlying mechanisms, has remained largely elusive due to the lack of specific imaging
modalities and diagnostic tests, and the lack of appropriate experimental models.Keywords:
