  • Title: Intravascular ultrasound evaluation of ruptured plaque in the left main coronary artery misinterpreted as an aneurysm by angiography.
    Author: Li Y, Honye J, Takayama T, Saito S.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2004 Nov; 63(3):314-6. PubMed ID: 15505855.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient who demonstrated a left main coronary aneurysm by angiography. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed that it was in fact an ulceration, which indicated ruptured plaque. This case provides evidence that IVUS can permit a more powerful definition of ruptured plaque than angiography. On IVUS, ulceration exhibits significantly different characteristics from aneurysm.
