Coronary occlusion during coronary angiography [PDF]
Between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 1974, 2981 patients underwent coronary arteriography. Twelve acute coronary dissections or embolizations occurred, an incidence of 0.4%. The incidences of acute occlusions for the Sones and Judkins techniques were 0.19% (4/2077 studies) and 0.88% (8/940), respectively.

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect
