Optical Coherence Tomographic Features of Pancoronary Plaques in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Caused by Layered Plaque Rupture Versus Layered Plaque Erosion
Section snippets
Discussion
The present study observed that: (1) layered culprit plaques were found in 49.0% of the most common pathologic type of AMI; (2) LPR group had more vulnerable plaque features than LPE group in entire coronary artery tree; (3) TCFA, DS >56.5%, and mean lipid arc >179.1° were independent predictors of layered culprit plaque; (4) the incidence of ischemia-driven revascularization was higher in patients with LPR than with LPE.
In the present study, 49.0% of patients with AMI presented with layered
