The Histopathology of Angiographic Chronic Total Coronary Artery Occlusions Ñ Changes in Neovascular Pattern and Intimal Plaque Composition Associated with Progressive Occlusion Duration.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current study describes the histopathology of angiographic chronic total occlusions including residual lumen patency, intimal plaque composition, patterns of neovascular channel formation, intimal plaque calcification, and cellular inflammation, analyzed according to occlusion duration and intimal plaque type (fibrocalcific vs. lipid laden vs. mixed). Histologic findings are related to previously described clinical and angiographic predictors of successful chronic total occlusion revascularization.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary artery occlusion is a technical challenge and has a lower success rate than other angioplasty procedures. Identification of predictors of failure could lead to better selection of patients with the greatest possibility of success. In this study, we investigate the multidetector computed tomography features asso...

BACKGROUND The evaluation of new therapeutic modalities to induce collateral growth in coronary artery disease require improved methods of angiographic characterization of collaterals, which should be validated by quantitative assessment of collateral function. METHODS AND RESULTS In 100 patients with total chronic occlusion of a major coronary artery (duration >2 weeks) collaterals were asse...
متن کاملRuptured Atheromatous Plaques in Saphenous Vein Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts: A Mechanism
Although early occlusion of saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts is usually thrombotic, late occlusion is most often a result of progressive intimal fibromuscular proliferation or atheroma formation in the implanted vein. We describe another mechanism of late graft occlusion: atheromatous plaque rupture with superimposed occlusive thrombosis. Four men, ages 48-67 years underwent repeat ...
