As of now CT angiograms cannot replace conventional coronary angiography while planning procedures like balloon angioplasty. Balloon angioplasty is removal of blocks from the blood vessels using slender long tubes with high pressure balloons at the tip. Detection of minor plaques in those persons might lead on to undue anxiety.

Introduction:An optimal strategy for the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) has remained unclear, despite medical therapy (antiplatelet therapy and LDL control management) or endovascular therapy (angioplasty or stenting). Stroke recurrence rates were 16.2% in the AA group, 13.8% in the AS group, and 5.9%

Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease Peripheral artery disease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet. Antiplatelet medicines help to reduce the risk of blood clots while statins help to lower blood cholesterol levels and stabilize plaque in the arteries.

The ECG is diagnostic for acute transmural infarction of the anterior and lateral walls, with LAD OMI being the most likely cause (which has various potential etiologies for the actual cause of the acute coronary artery occlusion, the most common of which is of course type 1 ACS, plaque rupture with thrombotic occlusion).
