Abstract

This study sought to elucidate the morphologic and pathologic characteristics of culprit lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The pathogenic mechanisms of acute myocardial infarction have been discussed on the basis of postmortem histologic examinations. Disruption of lipid-rich plaques is thought to render them thrombogenic. However, the details of coronary morphology have not been elucidated in survivors of myocardial infarction. The quality of angioscopic images has been greatly improved, and clear visualization of the intracoronary milieu can now be obtained. Eleven patients with acute myocardial infarction and angiographic demonstration of the culprit lesion were entered into the study. Angioscopic observations were made immediately after reperfusion and at 1-month follow-up. Angioscopic observations were successfully performed in 10 patients immediately after reperfusion and in 10 at 33 +/- 26 (mean +/- SD) days of follow-up. Immediately after reperfusion, red thrombus, white thrombus, yellow plaques and intimal flaps were recognized in 30% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.7 to 35.7), 100%, 100% and 50% (95% CI 45.0 to 55.0) of patients, respectively. At follow-up, these were recognized in 10% (95% CI 6.6...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
