Identification of Optical Coherence Tomography-Defined Coronary Plaque Erosion by Preprocedural Computed Tomography Angiography. [PDF]
J Am Heart Assoc, 2023 Background A previous coronary computed tomography (CT) angiographic study failed to discriminate optical coherence tomography‐defined intact fibrous cap culprit lesions (IFC group) from those with ruptured fibrous caps (RFC group) in patients with ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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]
Reviews 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.

New Insights on Plaque Erosion and Calcified Nodules
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014 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,

Two distinct phenotypes of plaque erosion assessed by multimodality intracoronary imaging: a case series. [PDF]
Eur Heart J Case Rep, 2020 Background Pathological studies have reported that patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may have different plaque morphologies at culprit lesions, and one of the underlying mechanisms for ACS is plaque erosion. However, the morphological features

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
