Does medical therapy promote healing of spontaneous coronary atheromatous plaque rupture without significant stenosis in patients with first acute coronary syndrome?
In patients with a first ACS, spontaneous plaque ruptures without significant stenosis heal without significant plaque modification in 50% of cases when treated with medical therapy alone.
Nearly 2 years of follow-up found that spontaneous coronary atheromatous plaque rupture without significant stenosis detected on first acute coronary syndrome healed without significant plaque modification in 50% of cases with medical therapy.
Rioufol et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
