Figure 4 Transverse sectional images of carotid arteries obtained with low mechanical index real-time pulse sequence scheme at baseline (panels at left) and during hypertriglyceridemia (panels at right). Note that at baseline there was some adherence of microbubbles to the endothelium only in pig 4 (arrow) and no adherence in the other pigs. After intralipid infusion, we can see microbubbles adherence to the endothelium constituting an echogenic ring around the vessel lumen in all pigs.
