Healed plaque erosion as a cause of recurrent vasospastic angina: a case report. [PDF]

Eur Heart J Case Rep, 2021
Background Recurrent vasospastic angina sometimes occurs. Fresh thrombi have been known to arise without plaque rupture at coronary spasm sites due to blood flow stagnation and intimal erosion caused by vasospasms.

Can OCT change the therapeutic strategy in ACS due to plaque erosion? [PDF]

Indian Heart Journal, 2021
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]

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
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 ...

Immune Mechanisms of Plaque Instability [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Inflammation crucially drives atherosclerosis from disease initiation to the emergence of clinical complications. Targeting pivotal inflammatory pathways without compromising the host defense could compliment therapy with lipid-lowering agents, anti ...

Predictors of non-stenting strategy for acute coronary syndrome caused by plaque erosion: four-year outcomes of the EROSION study. [PDF]

EuroIntervention, 2021
AIMS To test whether a non-stenting anti-thrombotic strategy was still effective at 4-year follow-up in patients enrolled in the EROSION study and to explore potential predictors of long-term prognosis.

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

Atherosclerosis, 2020
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

Superficial Calcified Plates Associated to Plaque Erosions in Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]

Life, 2023
This study investigates the clinical relevance and therapeutic implications of the OCT identification of intracoronary superficial calcified plates (SCPs) in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). In 70 consecutive ACS patients (pts), we studied the three main

New Insights on Plaque Erosion and Calcified Nodules

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
Plaque erosion (PE) and calcified nodules (CN) have been classically described in pathological studies as causes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) [(1)][1]. However, until very recently, the diagnosis of these entities in the clinical setting has remained largely elusive [(1)][1]. In this regard,

Vaporization of atherosclerotic plaques by spark erosion

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
An alternative to the laser irradiation of atherosclerotic lesions has been developed. A pulsed electrocardiogram R wave-triggered electrical spark erosion technique is described. Controlled vaporization of fibrous and lipid plaques with minimal thermal side effects was achieved and documented histologically in vitro from 30 atherosclerotic segments of

The immune system in atherosclerosis and in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

Heart International, 2006
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs when the atheromatous process prevents total blood flow through the coronary artery. It was previously thought that progressive luminal narrowing from the continued growth of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the ...
