Atherosclerosis remains a significant cause of mortality andmorbidity in the world. It is now well established thatatherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease preferentiallyoccurring in curved or branched arterial regions, whereasstraight parts of the arteries are protected, suggesting a closerelationship between flow and atherosclerosis. Animalmodels of atherosclerosis are an important tool to understandthe pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and identify newtherapies. Various animal models have been used throughoutthe years, each contributing to scientific progress in the field,including different species such as pigeon, mice, rabbit,pig and nonhuman primates. In many cases, one or acombination of multiple interventions, including geneticmanipulation, hypercholesterolemia inducing diets, or surgicalinterventions are employed to induce atherosclerosis or toaccelerate or vary the severity and complexity of the lesions. In recent years, new animal models have been developed toaddress specific needs in the field of atherosclerosis research. Some of these models use surgical interventions to create adisturbed flow profile, and a few models have used largeranimals such as minipigs. While PCSK9 inhibition isbeing used as a new therapy for lowering cholesterol inhyperlipidemic patients, over-expression of PCSK9 hasrecently been exploited to induce atherosclerosis in animalmodels. No animal model can perfectly mimic the process inhuman disease, however each model may be successfullyused to elucidate a particular aspect of the pathophysiology. It is essential to understand the strengths and weaknesses ineach model in
