Assessed by <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> flow chamber, targeted MB exhibited increased adhesion to platelets as compared to MB<jats:sub>Control<\/jats:sub>.

The degree of carotid artery stenosis on histology correlated well with the ultrasound acoustic intensity of targeted MB (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
