Optical coherence tomography to identify the cause of an arrhythmic storm: A case report

Figure 2 Optical coherence tomography performed during the repeated angiogram. A: OCT showing cross-section lumen reconstruction at the level of the plaque rupture. An intraluminal non-occlusive thrombus (+) is visualized. Arrow 1 shows rupture thin-cap fibroatheroma as visualized by the loss of continuity of the normal intima show by Arrow 2; B: OCT longitudinal lumen reconstruction at the mid left circumflex artery level. Arrow 3 highlights both plaque rupture and intraluminal thrombus be just before the bifurcation with the first marginal (asterisk). OCT: Optical coherence tomography.
