SummaryBackgroundPlaque rupture plays a critical role for the development of acute myocardial infarction. However, whether quantitative parameters with regard to the cavity size of ruptured plaque are associated with no-reflow (NR) phenomenon following primary angioplasty remains to be elucidated.Methods and resultsA total of 53 patients with de novo ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had plaque rupture at the culprit lesion defined by pre-intervention virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of NR phenomenon: NR group (n=19) and non-NR group (n=34). By VH-IVUS, we evaluated cavity length, maximum area, and volume of ruptured plaque in cul...
