A Case of In-Stent Plaque Rupture Presenting as an Acute Myocardial Infarction

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In-stent atheromatous plaque rupture is a very rare event. A 51-year-old man presented with an acute inferior myocardial
infarction 9 years after bare-metal stent implantation in the mid-portion of right coronary artery. After
thrombolytic therapy, coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed a ruptured plaque at
the mid portion of the stented segment.
