Superficial Calcified Plates Associated to Plaque Erosions in Acute Coronary Syndromes

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

Emergence of Plaque Erosion as an Important Clinical Entity [PDF]

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
Most physicians believe that acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are due to coronary artery thrombosis resulting from plaque rupture of a metabolically active inflamed lesion characterized by a thin fibrous cap (thin-cap fibroatheroma [TCFA]), overlying a large necrotic core containing ...

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
