چکیده

A 58-year-old man underwent cardiac catheterization for unstable angina. The coronary angiogram revealed severe stenosis of the right coronary artery. Although 20-MHz, phased-array intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) only visualized eccentric, low echoic plaque at the culprit site, optical coherence tomography (OCT) clearly revealed ruptured plaque and an intraluminal thrombus. OCT also revealed a small ruptured plaque and an eroded plaque with intraluminal thrombi in a distal site remote from the culprit lesion, neither of which was visualized by IVUS.

Upregulation of fractalkine and its receptor, CX3CR1, is associated with coronary plaque rupture in patients with unstable angina pectoris.

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that fractalkine (FKN or CX3CL1) and its cognate receptor, CX3CR1, play a role in atherogenesis, so the relationship between coronary plaque rupture, as observed by preintervention optical coherence tomography, and plasma levels of FKN and CX3CR1 was investigated in this study. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population consisted of 46 patients with unstable an...

Prevalence and Predictors of Multiple Coronary Plaque Ruptures: In Vivo 3-Vessel Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Study.

OBJECTIVE Plaque rupture may be the local expression of a widespread coronary instability. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the prevalence and characteristics of nonculprit plaque rupture; (2) the pancoronary atherosclerotic phenotype in patients with and without nonculprit plaque rupture; and (3) the prevalence and predictors of multiple plaque ruptures. APPROACH AND RESULTS Six hundred ...

Plaque rupture and intact fibrous cap assessed by optical coherence tomography portend different outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

AIMS Patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may have different plaque morphologies at the culprit lesion. In particular, plaque rupture (PR) has been shown as the more frequent culprit plaque morphology in ACS. However, its prognostic value is still unknown. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of PR, compared with intact fibrous cap (IFC), in patients with ACS. ME...

Intracoronary Thrombus and Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Blockade With Tirofiban in Unstable Angina or Non–Q-Wave Myocardial Infarction Angiographic Results From the PRISM-PLUS Trial (Platelet Receptor Inhibition for Ischemic Syndrome Management in Patients Limited by Unstable Signs and Symptoms)

Background—The present study describes the effects of tirofiban, a nonpeptide platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor blocker, on the characteristics of culprit lesions in patients with unstable angina (UA) or non–Q-wave myocardial infarction (NQWMI). Methods and Results—Of 1915 patients enrolled in PRISM-PLUS, 1491 had a readable film obtained a median of 65 hours after randomization. A c...

Morphological features of non-culprit plaques on optical coherence tomography and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

AIMS We sought to compare the morphological features of non-culprit plaques with >50% diameter stenosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with those of culprit plaques in patients with ACS and stable angina pectoris (SAP) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 150 culprit and non-culp...
