Summary

Patients with unexplained atherosclerosis (severe atherosclerosis not explained by traditional risk factors) will receive fecal microbial transplants (FMT) from patients with a Protected phenotype (patients who have high levels of risk factors but little or no carotid atherosclerosis). The objective is to determine what changes in the intestinal microbiome are associated with a decline in plasma levels of toxic metabolites of the itnestinal microbiome such as trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and p-cresylsulfate. The intention is to develop an ecosystem therapeutic of cultured bacteria to treat atherosclerosis.
