AI Article Synopsis
- Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) typically experience severe artery narrowing caused by a blood clot.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an effective imaging method for visualizing these patients' conditions, helping to locate where the plaque has ruptured and providing details about the stenosis.
- The case presented highlights the distinctions between the ruptured areas and the obstructed lesions in AMI patients.
Article Abstract
In general, patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have severe stenosis secondary to a superimposed thrombus at the event. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful imaging tool for patients with AMI. This allows us to identify the site of ruptured plaque, erosion of fibrous cap, and characteristics of stenotic lesion. In this case, we present the difference of the ruptured cavity and obstructed lesion.
