The influence of plaque orientation (pericardial or myocardial) on coronary arterial remodeling.
Atherosclerosis. 2001; (1): 179-83
Many systemic, regional and lesion factors have been identified which may influence arterial remodeling, but little is known about the importance of extravascular resistance to vessel enlargement. As myocardial systolic splinting may significantly affect vessel expansion the effect of plaque orientation on arterial remodeling in eccentric coronary atherosclerotic lesions was examined.
