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]
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.

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.

Recurrent Plaque Erosion in a Young Patient
Plaque erosion is one of the important mechanisms of acute coronary syndromes. We report the first case of recurrent plaque erosion in a different vessel 9 years after the initial episode.
