Acute Myocardial Infarction Caused by Distal Embolization From a Proximal Ruptured Plaque

Generally, in acute myocardial infarction, the plaque rupture site is around the occluded site. In this case, coronary angioscopy effectively detected a rupture at a nonstenotic lesion, and the consequent thrombotic occlusion may lead to acute myocardial infarction apart from rupture. Aspirated plaq...

description Generally, in acute myocardial infarction, the plaque rupture site is around the occluded site. In this case, coronary angioscopy effectively detected a rupture at a nonstenotic lesion, and the consequent thrombotic occlusion may lead to acute myocardial infarction apart from rupture. Aspirated plaques contained atheromatous materials, cholesterol crystals, and fibrin. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
