Clinical and Laboratory Predictors for Plaque Erosion in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]
Background Plaque erosion is responsible for 25% to 40% of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Recent studies suggest that anti‐thrombotic therapy without stenting may be an option for this subset of patients.

A novel deep learning model for a computed tomography diagnosis of coronary plaque erosion [PDF]
Patients with acute coronary syndromes caused by plaque erosion might be managed conservatively without stenting. Currently, the diagnosis of plaque erosion requires an invasive imaging procedure.

Pathogenesis of plaque erosion. [PDF]
Plaque erosion is the second most common cause of acute coronary syndromes. It occurs in the absence of fibrous cap rupture, and typically shows luminal thrombi in direct contact with an intimal surface that lacks endothelial cells (ECs) but is enriched in smooth muscle cells and proteoglycan matrix.

Predictors of Adverse Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Caused by Plaque Erosion With a Nonstent Strategy [PDF]
Background The EROSION (Effective Anti‐Thrombotic Therapy Without Stenting: Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography‐Based Management in Plaque Erosion) study demonstrated that antithrombotic therapy without stenting was safe and feasible in selected ...

Can OCT change the therapeutic strategy in ACS due to plaque erosion? [PDF]
The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes was thought to be coronary thrombosis over a plaque rupture. Autopsy studies revealed that not all cases were due to plaque rupture, even denuded endothelium or calcific nodule can beget a thrombus ...

Histologic Assessment of Thromboemboli Due to Plaque Rupture, Plaque Erosion, or COVID-19 Microthrombi [PDF]
Plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and COVID-19 infection can cause acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We illustrate case examples demonstrating the distinctive and characteristic pathologic findings underlying each of these various causes of acute myocardial ...

Visualization of Plaque Erosion With Laser Angioscopy. [PDF]
Plaque erosions are distinct pathological entities in patients with acute cardiovascular events. However, high resolution visualization by currently available imaging modalities in patients is limited.A 79-year-old man presented to the hospital with left-sided paresis concerning for ischemic stroke.

Cigarette Tar Enhanced ECs Pyroptosis via CAMKII/Drp1/mtDNA [PDF]
Summary: Smoking is the only cardiovascular risk factor for plaque erosion. We found cigarette tar resulted in erosion-like lesion development in apolipoprotein E−/− mice, with mural thrombosis, discontinuous endothelium, platelet activation, smooth ...
