“…In a study comparing the cost of hospitalization in patients undergoing PCI with or without the use of intravascular imaging, the median cost of hospitalization was significantly higher when intravascular imaging or OCT were utilized (22,875$ vs. 19,011$, P , 0.001). 76 In addition to OCT, other imaging modalities can significantly contribute to enhance the detection of PE. Recent evidence suggests that coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can effectively discriminate between PR and PE in ACS.…”

Atherosclerosis is an insidious and progressive inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of lipid-laden plaques within the intima of arterial walls with potentially devastating consequences. While rupture of vulnerable plaques has been extensively studied, a distinct mechanism known as plaque erosion has gained recognition and attention in recent years. Plaque erosion, characterized by the loss of endothelial cell lining in the presence of intact fibrous cap contributes to a significant and growing proportion of acute coronary events. However, despite a heterogenous substrate underlying coronary thrombosis, treatment remains identical. This article provides an overview of atherosclerotic plaque erosion characteristics and its underlying mechanisms, highlights its clinical implications, and discusses potential therapeutic strategies.
