Background: Myocardial infarction is the result of acute thrombotic occlusion of a coronary
artery, most likely secondary to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Intracoronary ultrasonic …

Background: Acute myocardial infarction is caused by sudden thrombotic occlusion of the
coronary artery due to a previous rupture of atherosclerotic plaque. Objective: To use …

OBJECTIVE To use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to compare plaque morphology in acute
myocardial infarction and stable angina pectoris. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING …

This study compares the ability of intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) to identify thrombus by
means of actual criteria, with the histologic studies of tissues removed by directional …

Rupture of a vulnerable plaque and subsequent thrombus formation are important
mechanisms leading to the development of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Typical …

Objectives. This study sought to evaluate the intravascular structure as depicted by
intravascular ultrasound after successful primary angioplasty (ie, without thrombolytic …

T he clinical transition from chronic to acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina
and acute myocardial infarction, is attributed to dynamic changes in the composition and …

This study was designed to determine whether preintervention intravascular ultrasound
(IVUS) imaging can assist in predicting the likelihood of acute coronary occlusion after …

BACKGROUND Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) has the ability to quantitatively evaluate
vessel wall morphology and is well suited for serial studies of coronary artery disease …
