It is generally accepted that the propensity of arteries to develop atherosclerotic lesions differs between arterial segments [1–4]. Within this context the carotid and coronary arteries are well known for their high susceptibility to develop atherosclerosis, whereas the internal mammary artery (IMA) is resistant. The underlying biology of this vascular susceptibility is still not completely elucidated and might be of great importance for our understanding of vascular cues that . . .
