Prevalence, features, and prognosis of artery‐to‐artery embolic ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction: An optical coherence tomography study
Journal of the American Heart Association Dec 04, 2020
Takahata M, Ino Y, Kubo T, et al. - This study was attempted to explore the prevalence and clinical features of artery‐to‐artery embolic myocardial infarction (AAEMI) by using optical coherence tomography. In this study, 297 patients with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction who had undergone optical coherence tomography before percutaneous coronary intervention were retrospectively included. The data indicated that for ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction, AAEMI is a rare cause and has unique morphological features of plaque including a larger lumen area at rupture site and smaller lumen area at the occlusion site.
