Simultaneous Plaque Rupture in Two Coronary Arteries Presenting as Acute Coronary Syndrome.
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Acute myocardial infarction with simultaneous involvement of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery: a case report.
Acute myocardial infarction is usually caused by rupture of unstable plaque and involves a single coronary artery. Simultaneous occlusions of multiple coronary arteries in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction are uncommon and lead to a fatal outcome. We report a 75-year-old male presenting with persistent chest pain complicated by ventricular fibrillation. After defibrillation and c...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the relationship between multiple plaque ruptures, C-reactive protein (CRP), and clinical prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated that ruptured or vulnerable plaques exist not only at the culprit lesion but also in the whole coronary artery in some acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Recent st...

BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis of general atherosclerotic plaque destabilization during acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the present study sought to analyze the 3 coronary arteries by systematic intravascular ultrasound scan (IVUS). METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-two arteries were explored in 24 patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention after a first ACS with troponin I elevation...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered as the leading cause of death in the developed world and is a result of plaque buildup (Atherosclerosis) in the coronary arteries, which interrupts blood flow. Atherosclerotic plaque develops silently over a prolonged period of time, through a highly complicated inflammatory process that includes many factors, molecules and reactions. Although atheros...

BACKGROUND Plaque rupture may be present in the peripheral arteries of the patients at high risk for cardiovascular events and is possibly associated with vascular vulnerability. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred one iliofemoral arteries from 101 patients undergoing angioplasty were studied. Intravascular ultrasound imaging was performed before intervention. Plaque rupture was defined as presen...
