Atherosclerosis is the leading inducement of cardiovascular diseases, which ranks the first cause of global deaths. It is an arterial disease associated with dyslipidemia and changes in the composition of the vascular wall. Besides invasive surgical strategy, the current conservative clinical treatment for atherosclerosis falls into two categories, lipid regulating-based therapy and antiinflammatory therapy. However, the existing strategies based on conventional drug delivery systems have shown limited efficacy against disease development and plenty of side effects. Nanomedicine has great potential in the development of targeted therapy, controlled drug delivery and release, the design of novel specific drugs and diagnostic modalities, and biocompatible scaffolds with multifunctional characteristics, which has led to an evolution in the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. This paper will focus on the latest nanomedicine strategies for atherosclerosis diagnosis and treatment as well as discussing the potential therapeutic targets during atherosclerosis progress, which could form the basis of development of novel nanoplatform against atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive cardiovascular disease that results from plaque formation in the arteries. It is one of the leading causes of death and loss of healthy life in modern world. Atherosclerosis lesions consist of sub-endothelial accumulations of cholesterol and inflammatory cells [1]. However, not all lesions progress to the final stage to cause catastrophic ischemic cardiovascular events [2]. Early identification and treatment of high-risk plaques before they rupture, and precipitate adverse events constitutes a major challenge in cardiology today. Numerous investigations have confirmed that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease [3] [4] [5]. This confirmation has opened the treatment of this disease to many novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics. The use of nanoparticle-nanomedicines has gained popularity over recent years. Initially approved as anticancer treatment therapeutics [6], nanomedicine also holds promise for anti-inflammatory treatment, personalized medicine, target-specific treatment, and imaging of atherosclerotic disease [7]. The primary aim of this collaborative work is to develop and validate a novel strategy for catheter-directed local treatment of high-risk plaque using anti-inflammatory nanoparticles. Preselected drugs with the highest anti-inflammatory efficacy will be incorporated into a novel liposome nanocarrier, and delivered in-vivo through a specially designed catheter to high-risk atherosclerotic plaques. The catheter has specially designed perfusion pores that inject drug into the blood stream in such a controlled manner that the streamlines carry the nanoparticles to the stenotic arterial wall. Once the particles make it to the arterial wall, they can be absorbed into the inflamed tissue. In this paper, we discuss the design and development of an atraumatic drug delivery catheter for the administration of lipid nanoparticles.
