Angioscopic characteristics of coronary narrowing in patients with recurrent myocardial ischemia after myocardial infarction

The American Journal of Cardiology
F AlfonsoC Macaya

Abstract

Coronary angioscopy was used to elucidate the underlying substrate of the culprit lesion in 20 patients with postinfarction ischemia and in 19 patients with other types of unstable angina. Plaque characteristics were similar in both groups, but red thrombi and occlusive thrombi were more frequently seen in patients with postinfarction ischemia.
