Abstract
► High mechanical stress and stretch around the neovessles within the carotid atherosclerotic plaque were discovered. ► Neovessels surrounded by red blood cells (presumably evidence of fresh hemorrhage) underwent a much larger stress and stretch than those without red blood cells present nearby. ► These critical mechanical condition may damage the neovessles' wall promoting the formation of intraplaque hemorrhage.
