It is an interesting result, but they don't mention the animal model used in the story. Normally, they use animals that make their own vitamin C (e.g. mice) and these "plaques" are not the same as the human lesion.
However, introducing toxins, and showing that toxins can increase atherosclerosis, would be a confirming finding in support of the Pauling/Rath vitamin C theory. In other words, anything that uses up vitamin C before it can help produce collagen would promote atherosclerosis.
