Summary

This study examined 200 patients who had surgery to remove plaque from their carotid arteries. Researchers looked for bacteria inside the plaque and tracked whether certain bacteria were linked to problems like stroke or re-narrowing of the artery after surgery. The goal was to learn which bacteria might be risky, not to test a new treatment.
