In patients with MI, all three major coronary arteries are widely diseased and have multiple yellow though nondisrupted plaques. Acute MI may represent the pan-coronary process of vulnerable plaque development.
The neointima became thick and nontransparent until 6 months and then became thin and transparent by 3 years. We conclude that neointimal remodeling exists after stenting and plays a major role in the alteration of coronary luminal diameter after stenting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
