Rapid Plaque Progression in a Patient with Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Case Report

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), diagnosed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), is caused primarily by plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodules.

Atherothrombosis in Acute Coronary Syndromes—From Mechanistic Insights to Targeted Therapies

Cells, 2021
The atherothrombotic substrates for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) consist of plaque ruptures, erosions and calcified nodules, while the non-atherothrombotic etiologies, such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary artery spasm and coronary ...

Associations of Culprit Vessel Size and Plaque Characteristics in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Small vessel disease (SVD) widely exists in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, the plaque characteristic of SVD has not been investigated. Methods: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of culprit lesion was examined in 576 patients

Distinctive Morphological Patterns of Complicated Coronary Plaques in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Insights from an Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Diagnostics, 2022
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an ideal imaging technique for assessing culprit coronary plaque anatomy. We investigated the morphological features and mechanisms leading to plaque complication in a single-center observational retrospective study ...

New Concepts on the Pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most severe form of ischemic heart disease. Although it is caused by atherosclerotic plaque thrombosis or nonatherosclerotic causes, its pathophysiological mechanism of ACS is not fully understood, and its concept is ...

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

Journal 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.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for a healed erosion with excimer laser coronary angioplasty and drug-coated balloon angioplasty: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundHealed plaque, characterized by distinct layers of organizing thrombus and collagen, is the hallmark of tissue self-repair. However, the efficacy of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in ...

Atherosclerotic plaque injury-mediated murine thrombosis models: advantages and limitations

Platelets, 2020
In spite of current treatment strategies, myocardial infarction and stroke are still major causes of death worldwide. These events are triggered by damage of an atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in occlusive thrombus formation.
