Objectives: This study was designed to report the clinical and angiographic correlates of
plaque rupture detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Background: Acute coronary …

Objectives: We evaluated the axial location of plaque ruptures in native coronary arteries.
Background: It is clinically important to understand the potential sites of plaque rupture …

PURPOSE: To evaluate by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) the characteristics of the culprit
lesion with plaque rupture without significant angiographic stenosis after acute coronary …

AIM To visualise the characteristics of ruptured plaques by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
and to correlate plaque characteristics with clinical symptoms to establish a quantitative …

Background—We evaluated the incidence and predictors of single and multiple plaque
ruptures in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stable angina pectoris (SAP). Methods and …

Background—It is not clear why some plaque ruptures lead to acute coronary syndromes
(ACS) but others do not. Methods and Results—We analyzed 80 plaque ruptures in 74 …

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to identify potential differences between the
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) characteristics of spontaneously ruptured and nonruptured …

OBJECTIVES To determine the morphologic features of coronary plaques associated with
acute coronary syndrome, we prospectively followed patients with atherosclerotic disease …

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 …

Objective—Intravascular ultrasound studies describe ruptured coronary plaques at sites
remote from the culprit lesion in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), suggesting …
