Advances in Intravascular Imaging: New Insights into the Vulnerable Plaque from Imaging Studies
The term "vulnerable plaque" denotes the plaque characteristics that are susceptible to coronary thrombosis. Previous post-mortem studies proposed 3 major mechanisms of coronary thrombosis: plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodules. Of those, characteristics of rupture-prone plaque have been extensively studied. Pathology studies have identified the features of rupture-prone plaque ...
متن کاملOCT assessment of thin-cap fibroatheroma distribution in native coronary arteries.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the geographic distribution of thin-cap fibroatheromas (TCFAs) in the coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a high-resolution imaging modality. BACKGROUND Plaque rupture is the most frequent cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It has been recognized that TCFA is the primary plaque type at the site of plaque rupture. METHODS We performed ...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography for the Assessment of Coronary Plaque Vulnerability
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology, which can provide detailed observation of the vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaques in clinical settings. The current understanding of the major cause of acute coronary syndrome is that it results from plaque rupture of a vulnerable plaque. OCT can provide detailed ob‐ servation of the vulnerable coronary plaque. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of coronary plaques with combined use of intravascular ultrasound, virtual histology and optical coherence tomography
According to post-mortem studies, luminal thrombosis occurs from plaque rupture, erosion and calcified nodules. In vivo studies have found thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) as the main vulnerable lesion, prone to rupture. Few data about other post-mortem lesions have been reported in vivo. Our main objective is to characterize in vivo the coronary plaques with intravascular ultrasound-virtual histo...
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. ...
