Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Matrix Metalloproteinase-12–Positive Macrophage Subpopulation Predicts Adverse Outcome After Endarterectomy

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) promotes atherosclerosis in animal models. MMP-12 is expressed in only a subset of foam-cell macrophages (FCMs) in human plaques. We investigated whether the prevalence of this MMP-12–expressing subpopulation is a prognostic indicator of adverse outco...
