Progressive Rapid Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation and Early Stent re‐Stenosis in an Untreated <scp>CLL</scp> Patient; A Case Report
/μL. This case highlights a rare but clinically significant association between CLL and accelerated coronary artery disease (CAD), suggesting potential mechanisms such as leukocyte aggregation, endothelial injury, and amyloid deposition contributing to rapid atherosclerosis. The findings underscore the importance of thorough cardiac evaluation in CLL patients and the need for further research into the underlying mechanisms and optimal treatment strategies for this high-risk group.
