Angioscopic coronary macromorphology after thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction
Abstract
In addition to a disruption of yellow plaque, vasospasm may also play a role in thrombotic occlusions of coronary arteries in small cases of infarction. Macroscopic vascular injury and thrombus seemed to be unnecessary for vasospasm culminating in myocardial infarction.
