Atheroma can rupture the endothelium, creating a rough surface where platelets and fibrin accumulate to form a clot (thrombus), and debris from the rupture can lead to further clot formation.
A ateroma pode romper o endotélio, criando uma superfície rugosa onde plaquetas e fibrina se acumulam para formar um coágulo (trombo), e detritos da ruptura podem causar a formação de coágulos adicionais.
