Atherosclerotic plaque at the carotid bifurcation is often associated with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke, but the mechanisms are not completely understood. Previous histological studies have been too small or insufficiently detailed to reliably determine the temporal course of features of plaque instability or to stratify analyses by the nature of presenting symptoms.
