Computed Tomography Assessment of the Regression of an Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Plaque

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) permits the noninvasive visualization of coronary artery stenoses and occlusions, as well as atherosclerotic plaques, in patients with coronary artery disease. This report describes a patient with stable angina pectoris in whom the regression of the plaque and coronary artery remodeling was documented by serial MSCT.
