Reviewing imaging modalities for the assessment of plaque erosion [PDF]

open access: yesAtherosclerosis, 2021
Plaque rupture followed by intracoronary thrombus formation is recognized as the most common pathophysiological mechanism in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The second most common underlying substrate for ACS is plaque erosion whose hallmark is thrombus formation without cap disruption. Invasive and non-invasive methods have emerged as a promising tool

Identification of the haemodynamic environment permissive for plaque erosion. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2021
AbstractEndothelial erosion of atherosclerotic plaques is the underlying cause of approximately 30% of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). As the vascular endothelium is profoundly affected by the haemodynamic environment to which it is exposed, we employed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis of the luminal geometry from 17 patients with optical ...

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndromes and Suspected Plaque Erosion Based on Clinical and Laboratory Criteria [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Plaque erosion (PE) ranks as the second most prevalent pathology associated with acute coronary events, following plaque rupture. PE is characterized by endothelial denudation and the development of neutrophil extracellular traps.

Diagnostic Performance of 60 MHz High-Definition Intravascular Ultrasound versus Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography for Identifying Plaque Rupture, Plaque Erosion, and Thrombosis in a Rabbit Model [PDF]

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Most acute coronary syndromes occur due to coronary thrombosis caused by plaque rupture (PR) and plaque erosion (PE). Precise in vivo differentiation between PR and PE is challenging for intravascular imaging.

Coronary Plaque Erosion: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci
Plaque erosion (PE), a distinct etiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs), is often overshadowed by plaque ruptures (PRs). Concerning its epidemiology, PE has garnered increasing recognition, with recent studies revealing its prevalence to be approximately 40% among ACS patients, challenging earlier assumptions based on autopsy data.

Management and Outcome of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Caused by Plaque Rupture Versus Plaque Erosion: An Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Plaque rupture and erosion are the 2 most common mechanisms for acute coronary syndromes. However, the outcome of these 2 distinct pathologies in patients with acute coronary syndromes has never been studied.
