Characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with plaque erosion

Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, 2021
Plaque erosion (PE) is a major underlying mechanism of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients with PE may have less systemic atherosclerosis. We aimed to clarify the status of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with PE. A total of 115 consecutive patients with ACS who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the culprit lesion were ...

Risk Factors Favoring Plaque Erosion.

Current Atherosclerosis Reports
Plaque erosion is the second leading cause of coronary thrombosis following plaque rupture and represents a key pathophysiological process underlying acute coronary syndromes that can culminate in sudden coronary death. While the precise mechanisms and risk factors driving plaque rupture are well-established, those for erosion have only recently been ...

Toll-like receptor 2, hyaluronan, and neutrophils play a key role in plaque erosion: the OPTICO-ACS study.

European Heart Journal, 2023
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In one-third of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), thrombosis occurs despite an intact fibrous cap (IFC) (IFC-ACS, 'plaque erosion').

Plaque rupture and erosion

2021
Despite improvement in the treatment, prevention, and risk factor management of atherosclerosis, the most frequent cause of death globally remains coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the manifestation of acute coronary syndromes, sudden cardiac death, or stable ischaemic heart disease.

Plaque Rupture and Plaque Erosion

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999
SummaryThere are multiple substrates for coronary thrombosis overlying an atherosclerotic plaque. The most common, plaque rupture, consists of an interruption of a thin fibrous cap overlying a lipid rich core. Plaque rupture is a result of macrophage infiltration and matrix degradation, is often seen in calcified plaques, and is highly associated with ...
