It is generally accepted that early atherosclerosis develops in low shear-stress (SS) regions such as the outer wall of arterial bifurcations and the inner bend of curved vessels (1). However, in clinical practice, it is common to observe atherosclerotic plaques at the flow-divider, or carina, of coronary bifurcations (2). Plaques at the carina are more frequently found in symptomatic patients, and may represent a more advanced stage of atherosclerosis. The carina is located in a region which is exposed to high SS. We hypothesize that if plaques are located in atheroprotective high SS regions, they have grown circumferentially from the atherogenic low SS regions.
