Figure 5 The non-stenotic lesion as culprit. A patient with unstable angina was examined by coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The right coronary angiogram (far left, top panel) shows a right coronary artery lesion that was subsequently stented (far left, bottom panel). The IVUS examination of the mildly diseased left circumflex (middle panel) reveals a site (black arrow) that by IVUS (far right panel) shows a fresh plaque rupture (cavity from 12 to 2 o’clock).
