Left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is a pathological condition of great clinical relevance due to its significant impact on both morbidity and mortality of patients with ischemic heart disease. Due to its bidimensional nature, angiography does not enable an accurate evaluation of the extension, distribution and morphology of LMCA disease....

Background: Dual quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)has been recently tested for assessment of intracoronary thrombus volume in experimental models. The present study aimed to validate dual QCA in vivo for the assessment of thrombus burden by exploring the correlations between dual QCA-thrombus volume and optical coherence tomography...

Importance: At one end of the coronary artery disease (CAD) spectrum, there are patients with multiple recurrent acute coronary syndromes (rACS), and at the other end there are those with long-standing clinical stability. Predicting the natural history of these patients is challenging because unstable plaques often heal without resulting in...

BACKGROUND: Microvascular obstruction (MVO) is a frequent occurrence after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), and is associated with adverse left ventricular remodeling and worse clinical outcome. Distal embolization of thrombotic material is one of the most important underlying mechanisms. The aim of this study was to...

AIMS: The role of antiplatelet therapy in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) undergoing initial conservative management is still a matter of debate, with theoretical arguments in favour and against its use. The aims of this article are to assess the use of antiplatelet drugs in medically treated SCAD patients and to...

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly diagnosed cause of myocardial infarction. Although different SCAD angiographic classifications exist, their clinical impact remains unknown. Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between an angiographic classification and the development of...
