“…Plaque rupture is determined by a thin fibrous cap discontinuity, which exposes the highly thrombogenic plaque core to the coronary lumen and activates a pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory cascade responsible for thrombus formation [2,11], while plaque erosion is primarily due to the apoptosis of endothelial cells leading to thrombus formation without evidence of fibrous cap discontinuity [11–13]. Even in the absence of significant coronary obstruction, both plaque rupture and plaque erosion may cause MI through different mechanisms, including transient occlusive thrombosis with spontaneous thrombolysis, distal embolization, superimposed vasospasm or a combination of these processes [2].…”

“…Generally, plaque disruption cannot be accurately determined or distinguished by coronary angiography, it can only be definitively diagnosed with optical coherence tomography (OCT) or, to a lesser extent, with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (16)(17)(18). Nowadays, OCT has been an essential diagnostic modality for MINOCA (19). OCT can identify the hallmark of a culprit lesion, including plaque disruption and thrombus.…”

“…The primary limitation of commercially available intracoronary OCT is its penetration depth of 0.1 to 2 mm in plaques, compared to up to 10 mm for IVUS, which prevents visualization of the deep content of plaques, the external elastic membrane and adventitial layer in diseased regions [ 28 , 35 ]. This penetration depth decreases significantly in the presence of lipid rich plaques due to the high attenuation and low backscattering properties of lipid.…”
