Coronary Angioscopy in Patients with Unstable Angina Pectoris
Abstract
To visualize intracoronary lesions in patients with different clinical expressions of coronary disease, we performed coronary angioscopy during coronary-artery bypass surgery in 10 patients with unstable angina and 10 patients with stable coronary disease. We examined a total of 32 vessels, using flexible fiberoptic angioscopes. Twenty-two vessels had no acute intimal lesion; three had complex plaques, six had thrombi, and one had both. Coronary angiography correctly identified the absence of complex plaque and thrombus in 22 vessels, but it detected only one of four complex plaques and one of seven thrombi. On angioscopy, none of the 17 arteries in the patients with stable coronary disease had either a complex plaque or thrombus. In the "offending" arteries of the patients with unstable angina, all three patients with accelerated angina had complex plaques and all seven with angina at rest had thrombi. We conclude that angioscopy frequently reveals complex plaques or thrombi not detected by coronary angiography. Our observations suggest that anginal syndromes that are refractory to medical treatment can be caused by unstable pathologic processes in the intima. Ulceration of plaques may increase the frequency and severity of effort angina, and the subsequent development of partially occlusive thrombi may cause unstable rest angina.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
