Simultaneous Plaque Rupture in Two Coronary Arteries Presenting as Acute Coronary Syndrome.
A 45 yrs male presented with angina. ECG showed transient CHB, T wave inversion in V3 to V6 and inferior leads. It was difficult to predict the culprit vessel based on ECG. Coronary angiography showed thrombotic lesions in LAD, LCX and OM which can potentially impact identification of culprit vessel and hence affect the management with primary PCI.
متن کاملComputed high concentrations of low-density lipoprotein correlate with plaque locations in human coronary arteries.
Subendothelial accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in arterial walls is an initiator of atherosclerotic plaque formation. We report here on the correlation between healthy state subendothelial LDL concentration distribution and sites of subsequent plaque formation in coronary arteries of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We acquired left (LCA) and right coronary artery (RCA...
متن کاملThe site of plaque rupture in native coronary arteries: a three-vessel intravascular ultrasound analysis.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the axial location of plaque ruptures in native coronary arteries. BACKGROUND It is clinically important to understand the potential sites of plaque rupture. METHODS We performed three-vessel intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) examination in 392 patients; 231 had acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 161 had stable angina pectoris (SAP). The IVUS detected plaque ruptures in...
متن کاملMultiple plaque rupture in acute coronary syndrome.
Coronary Syndrome To the Editor: Rioufol et al1 recently reported a lower incidence of plaque rupture in culprit arteries than in non-culprit arteries (37.5% versus 79%) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The low incidence in culprit arteries was explained by thrombi that masked underlying ulcerations, but findings suggest that plaque rupture/thromboses do not directly induce symptoms in ACS (or...
متن کاملPlaque rupture in stable coronary artery disease.
We read with interest the report by Guagliumi et al. (1) of a prospective diagnostic study investigating sex differences in pathophysiology of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and vascular healing after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The authors did not address nonculprit vessels, and we wonder what the prevalence of multiple plaque ruptures may have been in this cohort. ...
