The phantom includes the aortic arch, all supraoptic cervical arteries and a complete circle of Willis up to the M2‐MCA, A2‐ACA and P2‐PCA segments. 3% sodium alginate solution was cast into a stenosis mold and crosslinked in a 40% calcium chloride. An initial stenosis flow rate was registered with a value of 8.5 ± 5.33

The LM has an irregular 30% distal stenosis, followed by an 80% ostial LAD stenosis, and total occlusion of the LAD proximally with TIMI grade 1 flow in the distal vessel. The LCX demonstrates an ostial 80% stenosis prior to the bifurcation of a large OM artery. A large Diagonal artery has subtotal occlusion proximally.

However, CTA head and neck 4 days later demonstrated 90 percent stenosis of the mid left V2 at the C3‐4 level and a 75‐90 percent stenosis of the left mid V2 segment at the C5‐6 level (hard and soft plaque in these areas). He also had moderate stenosis of the right V4 segment.

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). These patients were identified to have non-flow-limiting vulnerable coronary plaques through intracoronary imaging.

The Queen of Hearts disagrees, diagnosing OMI with high confidence: Case Continued: The EKG was not immediately recognized by the emergency provider, who ordered a CT scan to rule out aortic dissection at 1419. Smith comment : Is the ACS (rupture plaque) with occlusion that is now reperfusing?

Category 1 : Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates. elevated BP), but rather directly correlated with coronary obstruction (due to plaque rupture and thrombosis) and, potentially, stymied TIMI flow.
